My vintage blanket: it is D O N E !! Hurrayyy!

By
December 19, 2011

Good morning!

My vintage blanket is done 🙂 Finally, the first blanket which is all mine, yes mine 🙂 This time, I will not for any any reason give away this blanket… (selfish on Christmas time this is very very bad 🙂 )

I love this blanket…I love MY blanket… wanna see it ?? yalla…

It is so “wintery” with all this white… like a field of flowers in a snowy morning … mmmmmh

The yarn used is Nako vizon a 100% acrylic yarn.

The hook: 4.5mm

Don’t ask me about the number of colors, I don’t exactly remember…It was leftovers I had in my stash with maybe 8 or 9 100g ball of off-white yarn…

150 squares joined as-I-go 🙂 You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.

And after I joined all the squares together I’ve made this border which I adore. I’m gonna post the graphic pattern of this edging next time maybe, so if you’re interested, stay tuned 😉

Dim: 110×165 cm

Last night was my first evening snuggled under my blanket while crocheting my rainbow ripple in front of the fire lit in the fireplace… a PERFECT evening 🙂

and you? what is for you a perfect evening?

 

5 more days before Christmas… The count down has began 🙂

I wish you a PERFECT monday, a PERFECT week and a perfect Holidays season 🙂

    Angie,
    Congrats on finishing your blankie. It’s beautiful. My husband thought so too. Now he wants me to make us one. I think it’s just fine to be a little selfish, considering the time and work you’ve put into it. I love the edging. I can’t wait to see how to make it. Happy Holidays.
    Blessings,
    Misty and Pets.

    Hiya! I am really new to your blog but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I love the stuff that you share here and I can’t wait to read more. I just started my second blog, a crochet blog, and hope that maybe sometime I can do an interview with you about your crochet.

    This blanket is simply amazing. My fiance asked me if I could make a blanket for our first house, and I have been looking for some inspiration. This is beautiful and just might be the inspiration I needed.
