I got it as a throw for my guest room but it's so nice that it's usually in the front room being used by my boyfriend while watching TV. It's plenty long so if you are sitting in a recliner you can tuck it under your feet and still pull it all the way up to your neck even if you're 6 feet tall. It's not the warmest blanket in the world so if you run hot this will be great for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689904346344960814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-38083419396331243072013-09-26T20:15:52.565+10:002013-09-26T20:15:52.565+10:00This is such a lovely idea!

What a great idea for a blanket. I love crocheting blankets and knitting them for that matter. It's just about all I do at the moment, but I'm waning in motivation at the moment after deciding I was going to need to transform my current cot blanket to a single bed blanket. Thinking I was nearly finished, I now find myself only just at the beginning again. I think I'll take a break and crochet a gorgeous bunting I have a pattern for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-64031558855752881182013-09-12T19:32:48.919+10:002013-09-12T19:32:48.919+10:00I've only knitted one blanket and was forever ...I've only knitted one blanket and was forever laying out the squares to see what it would look like but didn't sew it up until the end. It ended up a bit bigger than anticipated because I kept trying out new combinations of patterns and colours. My latest knitting project is a cardigan that was knitted on circular needles and then cut open - a bit scary to take the scissors to it but no sewing together (bliss).

I'm just picking up my patterns off the internet; gosh, it's so easy to do that stuff these days. There's a great website called Knits and Purls (I think) and each pattern has a short Youtube demo. So easy. Anyway, feel free to hop on over to my blog and have a look.

I have to say your photography is getting better and better for each day. Be proud. YOU are a natural. And what am I making? Well, my arm and hand is acting up some. I am trying my best to rest. I am working on a pattern for a shawl I have made. And I just released a classy granny pattern for my Gypsy blanket. And my head wants to make stripy leg warmers and learn how to knit... As an alternative to the crochet hook. Maybe that is what I should do this week. It can't be that difficult to knit ridged legwarmers, right?<br />All the best<br />Annette<br />http://myrosevalley.blogspot.ch/Annette - MyRoseValleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778246579909568662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-25302334610559899362013-09-10T23:14:17.279+10:002013-09-10T23:14:17.279+10:00Hola!
