Oh my, that is amazing! The bees look so good, and I particularly love the asymmetric arrangement of them, it looks marvellous!

Thank you :)
The bees are so much fun. They even have a head, thorax, and abdomen. You can't really tell since black hides everything, but I know it's there and my science brain is happy.

That is absolutely gorgeous. Echoing the comment about the bees - the way they're arranged gives the piece a real sense of life and movement.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out and bees absolutely make this afghan.

I'm excited to use it since I almost always sit on the couch with a blanket on me. So, I'll be writing Holmes under my bee blanket. :)

Thank you. :). The bees are my favorite part.
As a blanket with holes in it (as my husband calls afghans), it’s rather warm. I’m excited to start using it soon.
I think the pattern could be modified to make a scarf. Just need to find the right yarn.
