Orchid afghan

Yesterday I finished the 4rd and 4th strip, tonight I made the 5th strip and got a start on #6. Will be finished this weekend, then must finish sorting patterns and organizing yarn. Girls will be home for the holidays and would like their bedrooms fully functional and not as crochet storage.
Tonight I found some gorgeous new yarn, Paton's Glittalic. As it sounds, it's got glittery ribbon and metallic. I've got ideas, will buy 1 skein this weekend and start swatches for a stole/wrap/shawl item for Christmas.
