Ta-dah!

Remember this wool:

Well, this is what it has turned into, ta-dah!

During the course of this year Burnice, Tash and I have crotcheted our way through this book.

We chose squares to crotchet each month.  So most evenings this year you could find me crotcheting in front of the tv!  A great way to spend an evening.  We have ended up with 100 squares, all different (well actually there are 2 that are the same, can you spot them?).  Because they are all different they ended up slightly different sizes, so the finished blanket is a bit lumpy.   I crotcheted mine together with cream wool, and did a simple double crotchet border in cream and then green.  My idea was to have green as the dominant colour and to make it look like a garden.   I am so happy with this colourful blanket and am looking forward to the cooler weather so I can snuggle under it.  It is very warm!

It's stunning! I've been poring over blankets on Pinterest, admiring all the ones put together with different blocks. You are inspiring me: I thought I was going to do a ripple next and now I'm not so sure

That's amazing. You must be chuffed to bits with it.
