So, you will never guess. I actually finished the blanket (well ahead of Christmas, thankfully). I just missed her birthday by a week. Oh well, there were a couple reasons why and I will explain. But see that beautiful new picture in the header – that is part of the blanket.
You don’t think that I would be mean enough to not show you the whole thing do you? I’m not:
Vertigo - I think not.
Anyway, the reasons:
1.) I added an extra color to the pattern. It only called for 5 pastels and I used brights and couldn’t resist not using purple.
2.) I added about another 15″ onto the pattern as well. It was supposed to go blue to green 3 times and I did it 4 so that we are CERTAIN it will cover her all the way, for a really, long, time.
3.) When I decided to add the extra 15″, I was kind of ready to be done and therefore took a week break before finishing it. Yeah, I totally could have had it done by her b-day.
4.) I’m shocked and pleased that it turned out as well as it did and that I FINISHED it! And it didn’t take me forever. I have even thought about doing another one. Anyone interested in some different colors? I was thinking different pinks or blues for baby girls and boys. Or just favorite colors. Let me know.
