Fastest Afghan Ever

I saw this blanket hanging over the couch when we went to my sister's for Thanksgiving dinner, and I loved it! I borrowed the pattern from her, and went shopping for yarn the next afternoon.
The pattern is called Savory Salsa (U.S. spelling) Lesley made hers in a bright white with vibrant red, yellow, and orange stripes - very spicy salsa-ish. I decided that a creamy colour would look better on our cream coloured couch, so my stripes had to be more muted also; I went with mustard, pumpkin, and claret.




They are perfect in our living room.




It took me awhile to get the hang of the pattern, but once I figured it out, it just flew together. Yay, my kind of project! I kind of got lost on the last couple of lines of the pattern, so I had to improvise, but it turned out okay anyway.
I've already started on my second version. Same creamy main colour, but with royal blue, teal, and turquoise stripes for the house in Mexico.




It was supposed to be my winter project, but if it goes together as quickly as the first one, it'll be going down completed.
