It's done, finally! by homeschoolmom

It's done, finally!

I started this baby blanket back in July. It's by far the most complicated pattern I've ever done. It starts out as a little 2-inch square (154 squares total), you connect 14 of them to make a strip. Then you put an edging around it and attach the 11 strips to make the blanket. When that's all done, there are 330 end tails to weave in. Finished tucking in those tails Monday evening and it went into the mail Tuesday. Good thing, the baby I'm making it for was born right before Thanksgiving. I was getting worried that she'd be walking before I got this thing finished.
Well done. Very pretty.

Wow! This is gorgeous,Lisa. I can knit if I really put my mind to it, but crochet escapes me.

Lovely blanket. Well photographed. I think one of the things i prefer about knitting over crochet is that it's a little easier to weave ends in.

@mittens @danette @linnypinny Thanks!
@lbingle365 My neighbor taught me to crochet when I was 5. I'm the opposite of you. I can knit, if I really put my mind to it, but it's going to take me a very long time to knit a very tiny object! LOL!
@randystreat This would have been easier if they hadn't want you to leave the ends out to show the right side. Now I wish I hadn't done that. Normally, I tuck them in as I go.

I'm "bicraftual" as in I both knit and crochet but something like this...I wouldn't have the patience for, too much sewing. It's really beautiful

@notperfectbutmine Actually, it all crocheted together, no sewing at all.

Wow, I can't knit or crochet, but I can really appreciate the work that must have gone into making something like that.

@amandal Thanks! I hope she does. It should arrive in the mail to her tomorrow.
@stephanies I've been working on this one since July. Football season was extended this year and that really ate into my free time to do something like this.
