Pink and Purple Afghan

In between writing up my research (which can be very stressful and is getting more so) I often craft in the evenings to unwind, plus I like to think it keep me connected to the makers and communities in which I am exploring. As I've amassed quite a collection of yarn I decided to try and bust my stash by using some of the cheap acrylic yarn on a crochet afghan. Also my cat loves blankets so much, I thought if I made it from cheap yarn I wouldn't mind so much when she tries to sleep on it. 

The center worked up really quickly but slowed down the bigger it got. It's huge, so big that I couldn't fit it in the photo.
