Yes, I know it's spring, but I actually started this blanket last fall! It just took me a few seasons to finish it. I have this fabulous crochet book and it had the directions for this popcorn motif. I thought it would be really cute to make a bunch and sew them together and make a blanket. I have made baby blankets before, so I thought this wouldn't be that much more difficult. Well, it was actually pretty tricky. Part of the reason it took me so long to finish was that I gave up on it for a while. But I hate not finishing projects, so I pulled myself together and got through it. The yarn is Vanna's Choice in lovely fall colors of Cranberry, Olive, Mustard, Chocolate, and Rust, all sewn together in a random pattern with Beige. The final effect is pretty, and the popcorn motif is really fun, but I don't know that I would go through it all again. You never know though, maybe there will be a spring blanket finished by Christmas!
Such lovely colours! I don't mind the crocheting of motifs, I like having something to pick up and work on once in a while, but I hate the joining up and will procrastinate for months about it.
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly, I liked doing the motifs, but the joining... a bit tedious!
