Although I really hate making afghans that have to be put together (I dislike weaving in all the ends), I made this one so I could use up some of my scrap yarn. I'm going to give it to my granddaughter for Christmas.

I made my first Granny Afghan with scraps about a month ago. It is a pain weaving in the ends but I love doing the squares, lol.
