Okay - I do not think I will finish this into a blanket - I will call it a scarf and declare it finished.
Had the acrylics leftover from my Travelling Blanket and always wanted to try that afghan - was doubtful on if the colours worked together, but they really do - they remind me on a sunrise at the seaside. Will have to buy more yarn to be able to finish it.
Will leave the tails hanging for build-in fringe.
