I finished Liana’s birthday blanket, but I am only going to show a small portion of it right now. I’ll post a picture of the whole blanket after her birthday.
I really love how her name stands out and am so very pleased with the entire finished blanket.
There is always a feeling of loss when I finish a big project like that, sort of like reading a long series of books that finally comes to an end. You just don’t want it to end, you grew to like the characters, and what will you read next? I’m sure you know what I am talking about. So you won’t be surprised that it only took me about six hours from finishing the blanket to planning the next project!
And it took less than 24 hours to make fifty some beginning granny squares for the next project. I’ve a few more blue squares to go, as that will be the predominant color throughout, and then I will use white to join them all together. The goal is to use as much of the leftover yarn as possible from Liana’s blanket, while not making more squares than I have white yarn to join them together! That’s a lot of guestimating and (hopefully good) luck involved!
Oh that is a gorgeous blanket – her name really does stand out. Nope, not surprised it didn’t take you long to find a new project. That one will look lovely – will it go to Miss Wiggles too?
This granny square baby blanket is for my daughter’s boss, who is having (or just had?) a baby boy.
