Blanket Watch

Alright, so I've completely another blanket. My first "adult" blanket of the year.

*Lee throws the smoking crochet needle to the ground. It explodes into a million pieces.*



Another one for the books!!

I'd always wanted to work with a yarn in the "heathers" family. It's a yarn slightly heavier than regular yarn, and has the look of denim (comes in gray, blue denim, and purple denim). It's a little more expensive than I care for, but it was well worth it. I worked on it for about 3 months, I believe, and it took around about 115 hours to complete. (I am getting FASTER, LOL)

I made this one for one of my book club sistas, Viv. She mentioned wanting one back in December. Her birthday was on Friday, which gave me more than enough time to get it done.

So...

Happy Birthday Viv :)

I hope you enjoyed your birthday week! And I hope you enjoy the blanket!

    And another blankie!

    And another exploding smoking needle!

    Whoa. Either I just flashed back to earlier times when women did this on the regular, or somebody just rode by my house playing some 1950's music. Hold up...
    Okay... It wasn't a flashback. Who da hell?
