Sitting down with an old UFO

treeskinUnfinished object, that is.
Back before I got knocked up with The Miss, a friend and I had started a pair of granny square afghans. The plan was that we'd each do the full number of squares and trade. She got busy with work and school, and I took over the square-making for each of us. Eventually, I got her box of squares, to mix with mine and turn into an afghan. Hers is for a king-sized bed, so I only work on it this time of year.
She just got a new bed, which prodded me to dig it out, find the yarn I'm doing the assembly with, and get to work.*
I'm joining 7" squares into sets of four and adding a border, then joining the 4-square blocks into 7 rows, 7 wide. (Which may or may not get a final outer border, depending on my mood.) I've got 4 rows, 7 wide of the 4-square blocks assembled so far. So, roughly halfway.
* Because I can't justify starting new until I get some of these old hang-around things done. And I just got the knitting in history issue of Piecework, and it has socks and a scarf I really want to knit.
