Tabled project

This is the project I was working on when I got diverted to the charity work. I am on the last strip. 

I am working it in Simply Soft off-white. The pattern is from "Vanna's Afghans All Through the House." The name of the pattern is Aran Fisherman. It is a pretty complicated design. To keep it straight, I made a chart of each row and which row of the pattern to follow on each row. Then I checked them off as I went, making 263 rows in each strip. It was not until the last strip that I didn't have to constantly refer to the pattern. I will probably have to refer to the pattern when I resume work on it. 

I like the pattern because it is definitely not boring. I don't think I will donate this but I may give some of my older afghans away to Goodwill or Amvets, to make room for it.
