While I was going through my stash, I discovered the magazines that contained the patterns for a Songbird Afghan that I started back in 2002. That poor afghan has seemed like a lost cause. First, my cat got sick and threw up on it. I had to clean it to get out the stain. Then, I stitched about a quarter of a bird before I discovered that I had started in the wrong place. I had to remove all those stitches and start over on that bird. Then, I lost the magazines that contained the design. At least twice, I almost threw out the afghan, but I kept sticking it back in the box.
Today, I found the magazines! I still like the afghan as much as I did when I first saw the picture in the magazine. So I am determined to finish it. Here are pictures of the three birds I have completed and the start of the fourth bird:
I decided to stitch on this today and here is my progress on the Cardinal.
After I finish the Cardinal, there are only two more birds to finish. Maybe this long-time UFO will finally get finished...
