SOOOOOOO HAPPY with my finished GSB !!! I have loved making this gorgeous blanket, deciding the lay out of the colours as I went was great fun. I'm pleased to see it finished but part of me is a little sad as it was such a fun project to make. Thank you so much Lucy for sharing this pattern, your a little gem xxx
I edged my blanket as follows :
1 row of treble stitch clusters, 1 row of treble sts, 2 rows of double sts, 2 rows of single sts then a shell edging of *3 double stitch clusters then slip st in next 2 sts* repeated all the way around.
So here it is all finished & laid out to show you. My camera doesn't show the colours in a true light, they are actually much brighter & warmer in real life.

Yarn: Stylecraft Special DK (16 colours )
Hook: 4mm
Time to Make: 3 months
Enjoyment Level: Very :)
I'm thinking of making another one for little man no.1 using Vanna's Choice yarn to match little man no.2's ripple blanket that I started back in February & is half done, which reminds me that I must pull it out & get on with it so that it's ready for Autumn
bye for now

LOVE how your blanket turned out. Also like the choice of your colors. Normally I love bright colors, but I must say, since seeing so many afghans in the color range you chose, I am considering making one myself.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your kitchen turned out lovely. There is nothing like a little newness to make us feel better.
Enjoy the rest of your day. Until soon,
