Voila! Red & Black Hexi-gan Finished!

Can you believe it!  I finished...and I LOVE it!!  I put a simple reverse crochet around the edging.  It was all it needed.  Would I do another Hexagon Afghan?  You bet your boots I would!  In fact, I am thinking come this fall I will begin another in the warm fall colors that I so love!

Right now, the blanket has a temporary home on the little whicker love seat with my favorite rooster pillow resting on it.  But this is just a temporary home, because this blanket will be gifted!!  I can say no more, only that I will elaborate on this later.  I will however say, I will miss it!!!  But I can always make another afghan!!

NOW...after almost a year in hibernation, my rug has come out of hiding!!!  And oh boy...I can't put the darn thing down.  I have given it a name..."Buckster's Scrap-Happy Stripe-ity Shirret Rug". 

So...what do you think?  I am really feeling the striped border.  I plan on doing this on all four sides, which a solid square of color at each corner, followed by a couple rows of black bordering the entire rug.  As obsessed as I am about it, it shouldn't be too long before it is completed.  I am on a mission for more red wook and some yellow, too.  Looks like I will be combing the racks at the Goodwill and the Thrift store!

Working with the squares versus the oval rugs I have done, has really been a learning experience.  And it has opened up a whole new world for rug designs.  I think it really has a "folk-artsy" look to it. 

Have any of y'all heard of "roku"?  Well, it's about the coolest thing I have seen in a long time.  This little box lets us stream Netflix, facebook, and flicker (to name a few) through our high definition television!  I was blown away when I got to see my flickr photos in high definition!!! 

Well, I'm off.  Going to work on my rug and mentally prepare myself for a busy week!
