Good morniiiiiiiiiiiiiing,
Well well well my fairy tale is finished…done…terminée….Can I say FINALLY finished? Yes, kind of… because at the very end I was like: “I want to finish you because I can not stand you anymore on my knees!!!” 🙂 but the result is amazing and I am proud 🙂
Lets have some pics…shall we?
I started this blanket in my old house on the 15th of January…and blogged about it here…
2 months and a half crocheting squares… a total of 180 squares…
…180 squares joined on-the-go using this pattern…
…180 squares crocheted with a 4 mm hook and a wonderful 100% acrylic yarn called “Nako vizon” (you can see the yarn I used in this post)
Dim: 145x180cm which is big enough to snuggle under… 🙂
…a blanket made with memories…a “move” to a new house and a new beginning…
… like a flower meadow…in a spring morning 🙂
I think this blanket will be very much loved 🙂
so, what do you think? Are you, just like myself, totally crazy in love? 😀
A very last pic before leaving you my dear….Wishing you a wonderful monday 😉
Thank you for your visit!
Kisses,
Sucrette

Angie, what a wonderful blanket!!! This one is on my list of things to do… I love, love, love it! I also love the border, is it a zigzagy border? thanks for sharing, Pati x
Thank you all for your sweet messages ! They are making me very happy 🙂
Pati: yes it is like the zigzagy border but it is every time one dc instead of 4 🙂
Absolutely my favorite–I truly love the white background best. It really showcases the happy colors you have chosen. Great job–once again!
Oooh, it’s just lovely! I’m doing a similar blanket too, but I keep getting distracted – there are so many lovely things to make. I *will* keep going now though 🙂
absoluutly awesome, and beautiful made !!!!!!!!!!
the finishing edge is wonderfull.

What a beautiful blanket. I love your patterns.
I just started a blog with my mom. So far I just have a trial post about a blanket I am working on. So much to figure out about blogging.
Hugs
Beautiful blanket – love all your work!
It turned out so beautiful Angie. I love the lacey edging too :0)

This blanket is so beautiful, I love it 🙂
Wow, you are a blanket machine! Super nice this new one, congrats!
B E A U T I F U L!!! What a lovely blanket. Your finished blanket has inspired me to get back to mine. As soon as I finish my flower blanket I am going to get back to work on my white “granny garden” (the one similar to this one). Very nice. I can’t wait to see how your other two WIPs grow.
Yes, I love your blanket! All these colours remember me the spring. Beautiful!!!!
Oh wow! That is breath taking! Unbelieveable! I LOVE it!
I love your blanket, it’s great!!
Magnifique, splendide, une vraie oeuvre d’art. Je comprends que tu l’aimes.
Encore une petite question : tu les as assemblés au fur et à mesure ?
Really beautiful! Looks a lovely snuggly blanket x
Oh my, she is definitely a beauty!!! Well done
Beautiful!!!!!!You aren´t crazy because I love making grannys. I begin one blanket similar yours.I´ll show you when I finishe it. Kisses!!!!!!!
Congrats on the ta-dah! It’s beautiful! I’ve not tried a pattern like this. The number of squares to be made is a bit overwhelming. But the end result is fantastic. Enjoy! 🙂 Tammy
Thanks for the info Angie. I have nearly finished my girls ponchos (based on your pattern). I am trying to make a flower to decorate them and as soon as it is done, I will take some pictures and put them on flickr and let you know. I love your blog! Pati xx
It is lovely! I am working on a granny blanket too (actually I am working on 2), but I think it is going to take me years to finish. Are all your granny in different colors? They are all different aren’n they? It’s a great blanket!

That is glorious! I am only 50 squares into mine, and already blanching at the thought of all the ends to weave in. This is such great motivation and inspiration! x
So so beautiful – I love the edge as well. I’m finishing a little baby stripe blanket for a friend and thinking of using a similar edge that you used. Well done.
Have a good week.
Carina x
Gorgeous!!
I’ve been watching this blanket come to life and I am in LOVE with it!!! I am now going to make one, too…you have totally inspired me with the fabulous colors and the creamy border……..dreamy sigh……………….thank you for sharing the loveliness!!!! 🙂
Your blanket is so pretty. I think I am tempted to start another project having seen it, but I must finish my other blankets first. x x
oh my. stunning. i bow to your crochet hookety hookeyness. xxxxangelina
It’s beautiful. So pretty and a very spring feel. xo
It is a thing of sublime beauty. And I bet you were clever and all those ends were woven in as you went. If you pop by here you might feel some of my pain:

Oh Wow! This is one stunning blanket! Je suis dans l’amour… Sigh 🙂 What a work of love it must have been.
the blanket it stunning !!!
thank you for sharing 🙂
That is one of the most beautiful afghans I have ever seen! Just lovely!
Your blog and your blanket is amazing. I can’t wait to see your next project.
But I have to say that the blanket on the sofa is also wonderful (with the big squares). I like it so much that I would like to make one just like yours. So I have been looking on the internet all evening for a pattern, but I could’t find anything quite like it. Now (in despair) I hope you won’t mind me asking if you could help me with a pattern.
Lots of greetings from the Netherlands,
Nicollette
your blanket is so beautiful, so much work! I adore what you have done
Hi Angie,
I have recently found your blog and I love it! I love the pictures of your colourful home and your beautiful crochet. I’m amazed how quickly you make each project!
Thank you for sharing your patterns, I have bookmarked a few, to add to my long list of “want to makes” 🙂
Kerry
Ps. I’m glad to see you use acrylic yarn too – I wish we could get that Nako yarn in the UK, the colours are stunning
glorious 🙂
Hi
I hope you don’t mind me asking but how many balls of wool did you use for the white? I am making a simlar blanket and need to buy the white yarn and I am wondering how much to buy?
