My other blanket is also finished

Mimle is demonstrating how big it is. (And how tiny our apartment is.)

and how crooked, but warm and cosy the blanket turned out. Even if it is unblocked.
 The light brown knitted square is yarn from my grandmother.

The grey square by Mimles bottom is yarn from Ida's grandmother, and the one by her left ear which is in purples are also made from yarn from our grandmother. (we think)

The orange ones are from my friends grandmother and the white sparkly yarn is from boyfriends grandmother.


You can barely see on the grey knitted square in the top right corner has some white crochet ribbon-thing  on it we think is from my aunts mother in law.
I finished it off with leftover yarn from the last blanket. Three rows of white.

Where are the treats?

The recipients name is IDA. The I was made by my boyfriend. The D was made by her brother and the A by her little sister.
This blanket was a joint effort. My friends helped a lot. All the yarn was from stash, some from my grandmother, boyfriends grandmother, my friends grandmother and the recipients  grandmother (although my grandmother is also hers as she is my cousin)

Congratulations on finishing your masters!

Blanket me I'm done



All 120 squares are done, all the yarn ends tucked in. Needs blocking and I border, which I have started on… Two rows of white, but I am thinking it might need a thick white border. And maybe one row of pink in the middle, but I have yet to decide. I have five more balls of white yarn so I could just do my rows until finished.
And one day I want a blanket with a pretty frilly border too, but not this time.

Tomorrow I will have boyfriend help me with the measuremenst. Bunny was not that helpful. But she did like it, even if I had to bribe her to get a picture. Somewhere on that blanket is two small dried banana chips.
