1970s crochet blanket

I finished the blanket that I made for my mom! It took a school semester from start to finish.

Why is it taking me so long to finish this blanket? Is it because I decided to make it so big? Or is it because it’s big enough already that I could actually sleep under it right now?

Realized I never posted this here!

It took two years, but I made the Annie's Cathedral Rose Window Afghan! First time I made a full blanket, really love it!

This blanket is a monster. I had no idea how big it was going to turn out. This is it on a king sized bed. Not the best photo but I was so excited to finish it I just had to share. Tomorrow, assuming the weather is good for it, I'll get some better photos in the sun.

I am starting on another afghan for a Christmas present! It is very similar to the last blanket I was making. Look in my previous posts for the link to a similar pattern :)

Knit this square yesterday, the yellow is that little skein of handspun hampshire that I dyed in the second round of exhaust. I got pretty far on an acrylic garter stitch scrap blanket à few years ago, before realizing I hate acrylic and have less than no use for a blanket made of the stuff. But man, the squares looked really nice. This blanket is stockinette because I intended to practice flat colorwork, but I wish I'd just done garter stitch. I love how it looks a lot more. Anyway... the gray is some Jacob scrap. I like both sides, not sure which will be face up when I sew it on. I need to block a ton of them atm, just don't really enjoy it. (That is another benefit of garter stitch squares).

Also the bread. Just finished its first rise. It's a blend of bread flour, whole wheat, and rye. The rye was accidental, I was looking for either spelt or more whole wheat but it wasnt labeled and light in the basement was off, so I grabbed rye accidentally, and... eh. Also has toasted Pecans. Idk, all my bread is 'what if I tossed a bunch of random stuff in a bowl while having very thick brain fog ?' But it usually tastes pretty good.

Also, 3 rolags down. I'm taking a long time with them trying to get all the vm out, but I think it's actually working really well. We'll see.

more squares for my blanket, this time with some autumny color combinations! i sized the blanket up a bit so it could work as a beadspread — meaning i now need 25 squares instead of 16, which i don’t mind at all — i could crochet only afghan blocks until the end of time :)

square 1: this is the square from the Community Blanket by Michael Sellick. It ended up being much smaller than I expected, so I added some rows, + a few mini puffs.

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 006 for the inner square, and Lana Grossa Pima 001 in dusty pink and random white cotton yarn i found in a cupboard somewhere for the border!

square 2: Cora by Diana Krenz. I am gonna be so honest, I saw this square, and thought: I think I know how to do this without reading the pattern — and I could! so this is the first square for the blanket that isn’t free. I bought the pattern despite being able to do the square without reading it tho. :) i squared it up differently tho to match stitch count for the splendid serendipity border.

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 006 for the square and 008 for the border!

square 3: a slightly altered Spiro Star by Helen Shrimpton! i added some bobbles and squared it up differently as a result of that because it wouldn’t lay flat with the bobbles.

yarn: Lana Grossa Cotonella 004 for the square, and then maybe 005 or 006 for the border? I honestly can’t tell :D

19 squares done (3 more i need to post still), 6 to go. i have 3 in progress, and 2 that i need to decide whether to include at all. Then the only steps left are choosing a joining method and which color that should be, and a proper border to tie em all together :) the end is in sight (wish it wasnt! C: )

Cathedral rose window Afghan in rainbow colors to compliment my stained glass window Afghan in the same color scheme.

I started this Afghan right after Christmas and worked on it off and on for 3 months before completion.
