My blanket of many colours...........

I did, finally complete the blanket of many colours yesterday;


I used all thrift-ed yarn of many textures and sheen, and no.3 hook for the squares and no. 4 hook for the border. The total cost roughly, I would say $20. Among all the other projects, it took me about 7 months to finish.


It was also a warm and a sunny saturday afternoon, to take these photographs at my neighbourhood park.


I am going to give this away as a gift for a sweet friend. I hope she will like it. And, I am thrilled that I manged to finish my first biggest crochet project.


My next crochet project is octagons;

It is nice of you to stop by...........,        
thank you,
xxx,
Gaia

  5. Congratulations on your finished blanket!! It looks wonderful, and you must be so satisfied with the final results. I still have a blanket to make, but honestly, I'm not sure I have the willpower. I've only got a handful of squares completed, and the amount of yarn required makes me feel a bit faint. One day. Have a great week Gaia! Wendy x
