I know that I thought the last afghan I did was going to be Amy's Afghan, and it turned out to be, in a way. The project veered off course, and became an experiment in various colorways using Lighthouse Mist, a fuzzy mohair, and assorted worsted weight yarns, simultaneously. I did give it to her, but it was not THE Amy's Afghan that I was striving for.
However, I'm on the right path now, baby!
This is Pagoda in Caron Simply Soft, with LightHouse Mist, the variegated mohair that contributes the pleasing shifts in colorway. The Pagoda is what gives it the overall teal foundation. This is about two thirds as long as it's going to be, because I have yet another skein of Caron to go.
The overall length will be a bit over five feet. Altho, when it's done, Amy may decide to consider it the width.
The original plan was to add two more panels, one on either side. That would make the blanket much wider than the over length. However, Amy might decide to turn it so that the panels become layers that make the blanket seven to nine feet long {I've not yet decided} and five foot wide.
When the other yarn comes in, which might be as early as tomorrow or as late as next week sometime, I'll post pix of that and make a decision on the final intended dimensions.
But for now, this panel, at this stage, is about 3x4.
