Afghan 82


This blanket was NOT done in a day, but done over the course of several months. (That would be my fault for using regular, rather than chunky yarn.) It became a blanket of idiosyncrasies: I aimed to make the blanket crib-sized (36 x 54 inches), but it became smaller due to my gauge and running out of a color of yarn I did not know where to buy anymore. I chose to carry the yarn, rather than cutting each time I changed colors (rather than cutting it and rejoining each time), which cinched up the carrying side. Walmart apparently changed their white lot between my first and last purchases of yarn. All in all, though, I got the blanket done. Hopefully the idiosyncrasies will fade once a baby begins to use it.
