aran afghan

I want my dream living room to look like this (minus the washer & dryer, of course.) 

I  l.o.v.e. the color of the walls soooooooo much & when I was at the fabric store recently --- with nary a thought of purchasing any yarn --- I stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted this yarn  --> Soft Baby Steps in aqua. 

Why, it is the perfect color of my dream living room!!.... 

So I snatched up enough to do this aran isle throw to match my new dream living room.

I love the texture in these stitches. 

Bobbles, front and back double crochet, skipping stitches and wrapping stitches to enclose stitches = tons of texture.

It's the perfect color & afghan design for when I have my feet up & I'm watching the rest of the family scrape off all of the old paint & rolling on that new aqua paint color in my newly decorated living room....

Now.  Who do you think will be finished first?

Kids + husband painting?
