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 !
