Ta da.....! Theblanket is finished YAY!!!

Ta da.......
It has taken me a while to complete, but here it is finished, all done, tied off and woven in - the sunburst granny blankie!! I have to admit I am pretty pleased with how it turned out, I have only been crocheting for about 4 months and I would never have believed I could complete something like this so soon after learning to crochet. I know the colours won't be to everyones taste but I LOVE them so bright and cheery! Soooooooo..... here come some photos........



Here is the whole thing laid out. ( surprisingly hard to photo!)









Soooooo much glorious colour!





Granny blankie as fashionable day wear!


Granny blankie gadding about, catching some rays!


I think we have seen just about enough of the blankie now, so here are a few facts - I used Heritage Colourworks 8ply pure wool for this blankie and the pattern came from here - thanks for such a lovely pattern!
Onward! Time for a new project - maybe the beautiful tablecloth ?

Have a great day !
