The afghan has 48 crocheted squares, each with a different stitch pattern. It uses 6 colors of Red Heart acrylic yarn (red, purple, pink, black, 2 colors of variegated).

It's dedicated to my cat Selkie, who died in January 2003.

I'll post better images later.

Ooo, that's pretty! I can imagine a beloved cat curling up on it. It's probably all soft and smells of the queen-human.

That's lovely.

And LJ's being weird. It claimed this was a protected post when I clicked the "Read Comments" link.

Wow! It's wonderful! I like how it's so different from square to square but still doesn't look haphazard.

That happened in my journal this morning, too. I'm actually glad to see you say this, because I was afraid my tweaking to try to screen out LJspam had screwed something up.

Gorgeous afghan. Simply gorgeous. Makes me want to wear it ...
