Afghan 84

Another one is done! I started this one using the yarn from afghans 80 and 82, and then had to make a run to Hobby Lobby to get more. (Thankfully I got there in time to get the last three skeins on the shelf!) All in all, this was, as the pattern claimed, an easy afghan. Although I started the edging with skepticism as to how it would turn out, I ended up liking the way it turned out.
