Cloudburst grey and white. Not very summery, but I like it. First pic is through Round 9 Dark, and I finished for the evening at the end of Round 11 Dark.

09-14-2022

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 15 Dark.

09-19-2022 midnight

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 30 Dark. The corners are almost at the edge of the sun disk.

09-21-2022

Finished the evening at the end of Round 34 Dark.

09-24-2022

Stopped for the night at the end of Round 38 Dark. They’re getting long, I’m wiped due to flu + booster shot, and I’m going to sleep.

09-26-2022 early AM

Stopped for the evening at the end of Round 39 Dark.

09-28-2022 early AM

Stopped for the evening at the end of Round 41 Light. I had to rip back and redo 2 rounds because starting at the tip of the corner/surrounding leaves (Round 40 Light), the square is not symmetrical. Oops! The zigzags have begun.

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 45 Light. I’m at the edge of the sun disk - the next round will define the shaped bottom of the lighter squares ringing the sun, as the outlines of those squares was already set.

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 47 Light. One side is 44” across, 93 dc+ch groups, or about 186 sts across. That would make it about 744 sts around. I joined the second White ball in Round 46, and will probably be joining the grey in Round 48.

Stopped just before midnight at the end of Round 49 Dark. I’ve started on the motifs that aren’t all the way up in the corners, but that are just inside that point. All leaves have at least 2 sections completed. Afghan is complete after 75 Dark! so I’m about 1/3 done. Maybe. Joined second ball of grey near the middle of 48 Dark.

10-04-2022

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 51 Light. I was mistaken - I have the center leaves to work, but this last round actually was the base of those leaves. Still have several more rounds to get to the corner ornaments.

10-05-2022

Finished after Round 52 Light.

10-09-2022 early AM

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 55 Light.

10-09-2022 PM

Finished for the evening at the end of Round 57 Light. It’s taking about an hour or so to go all the way around.

10-16-2022 early AM

Part of the way around Round 62 Light. Almost to the tips of the corner ornaments.

10-17-2022 early AM

Stopped for the evening at the end of Round 64 Light. I believe I’m up to the 900+ stitches rounds. The next round is the bottom edge of the border section.

10-18-2022 early AM

Stopped halfway around Round 65 Dark. Closing the top of the bottom round of ‘squares’.

10-23-2022

Ran out of the second ball of the white about 3/4 way around Round 68 Light.

Ended for the evening (okay, early AM) 1/8 of the way around Round 69 Light.

Done!!! The last three rounds took me almost a week. One full hockey game = once around. Oof. The last quarter of the last round and the final joining round took me all afternoon, but it’s done!! Nice and warm, too. We got snow (flurries) for the first time this season yesterday.
