Once again, my wife commissioned another piece from me.  This time, she wanted an afghan for our living room.  One that would take the place of a blanket that rests on the sofa.  She decided that she loved the Candy Stripes afghan so much, she wanted a larger version to match our space.  2 weeks later, this is the outcome of that request:

I have really enjoyed making these striped afghans.  The line and color possibilities are endless.   I see many striped afghan Christmas presents in my future.  They are quick and fairly simple.  The edging seems to be the only tricky part.

 This pattern is worked exactly the same as the Candy Stripes Afghan (found here).  I tailored it to make the pattern a full sized afghan:

I cut the yarn at the end of each color change and wove in all of the yarn at the end.
