Blanket

Now Christmas is a distant memory, I can post about the gifts I crafted for people. I made David a blanket, as I felt that he could do with a hug or two.

David's Blanket 2009 (6)

It is 144 squares, using the Harmony pattern from 'Start Crochet', and is the biggest yarn craft thing I've made. I loved seeing the piles of squares grow - I crocheted and seamed it everywhere while waiting for my PC, on trains, visiting people...

Many of the yarns were from my stash, so had happy memories of other projects, including my first handspun, yarns I'd dyed myself, the yarns I used for my Treat mittens, the first yarn I'd bought, etc.

I'm really proud of the blanket - it's warm and drapey, and David likes it.
