Fairy tale blanket :)

By
April 4, 2011

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

  12. Sucrette

    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 🙂

  13. Victoria

    Absolutely my favorite–I truly love the white background best. It really showcases the happy colors you have chosen. Great job–once again!

    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.

  27. marta

    Yes, I love your blanket! All these colours remember me the spring. Beautiful!!!!

  35. Tammy

    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

  36. Pati from London

    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

  37. Monica

    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

  39. Carina

    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.

    That is one of the most beautiful afghans I have ever seen! Just lovely!

  47. nicollette

    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

  48. Tracey

    your blanket is so beautiful, so much work! I adore what you have done

  49. Kerry

    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

    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?
