I was looking for a Harley Davidson afghan to crochet for my dad for Christmas and found this one. I loved crocheting it. It took about 2 months to finish, but I think the end result is GREAT! Here is a picture progress of the whole project:
 |
| It's starting to look like something! |
 |
| A mess of yarn! |
 |
| I decided I needed to come up with a better plan, these kept getting tangled up |
 |
| I put yarn on these embroidery cards. At one point I had 50 of these cards filled and also was using several smaller balls of yarn! |
 |
| One wing almost finished and starting on the lettering |
 |
| starting to add a little orange for the Harley logo |
 |
| Moving right along |
 |
| I found that I needed to go on the back and cut yarn that had been left behind and tuck them all in as I went instead of waiting until the end of the project. |
 |
| The weird thing about the Harley Davidson words is that you can hardly read it just looking at it, but in the pictures it looks so clear. |
 |
| I can see the mistake can you? I don't know if I read the pattern wrong or if I skipped a line or what, but there is a random white stitch that should be either black or orange. Did I fix it? NOPE! I left it and hope that nobody else can see it even though it is glaring to me! |
 |
| It's getting too big for the couch! |
 |
| Speaking of the couch...doesn't that other afghan look lovely on there? |
 |
| Starting the other wing and moved to bed to photograph |
 |
| Almost finished! |
 |
| Finished! I added a little bit of a border. I was going to add more, but I was tired of the project by then and I thought this was big enough so I left it. |

Another angle of the finished project

I think my dad will love this! But now I have to wait until Christmas to give it to him! Ack! That will be difficult as I want to show it to everyone!!!
Here is the link to purchase the pattern
There are a lot of other Harley designs there and other graphs and such to choose from. I need to go browse now that I am projectless! I didn't really look around while there because I was specifically looking for the Harley design.
This project took a lot of time! I mean serious time! I watched a ton of episodes of Bones and lots of movies and other TV while crocheting this. I believe it took me about 2 months, but it could have been longer. I focused pretty much all of my time on it. Mainly because I was obssessed! No, I will never crochet this particular pattern again! I'm a one-time kind of project gal!
