The blanket is finally finished! Let’s not dwell on the fact that it has taken more than a year to get to this point, but it’s done, and it’s lovely.

The photo doesn’t really give a sense of the scale of the blanket, it’s about 1.1m wide and long. I think I went a couple of stripes longer than the pattern suggested, but it’s turned out really well. A big thanks to my mother too, who instructed me on the best way to weave in all the ends, and then made sure I sat there until it was done.

I love what an amazing effect you can get whilst still sticking to the basic garter stitch. A great project.
