An Afghan for my friend

I made this blanket for a friend. She's leaving town and really likes my arts and crafts. I'm a sucker for folks that like my work :) I tricked her into picking the yarn and the pattern (I have my ways) and then worked furiously quick to get the afghan completed in time for her farewell party. She loved the blanket and was quite surprised as I finished it in less than 3 weeks time. Usually it'll take me MONTHS. But, when you put forth the effort and the time, it can be done.
