WIP ~ My hubby's afghan

Well, I'm about 1/2 way through the chart of this monster! I am really excited about it! It's looking pretty good and now that I'm past most of the major color changes, I'm quite certain that the second half will go much faster than the first. After I finish the chart, I will work many more rows of just black SC's on top and bottom to make it large enough for a king sized bed. Then I plan to work a few rows in the round and then a friend of mine will sew the black fleece I purchased to the back of it. My personal goal is to be finished with it by the end of November which will give my friend more than enough time for sewing til Christmas!
