My big WISP done

 

This blanket I started on in the fall. I was going to make it for my grandson Diamond for Christmas. But his mother had other ideas. So I stopped working on it and put it away for a bit. It did bother me that I did not finish it so the other day I did, and it only took two days to finish it. I wold have done it earlier if I wold have known how happy it made me to finish that. It turned out so pretty, the colors were perfect together, and he loves green. I think he will get it for Christmas this year, since his birthday is not until after Christmas. ;)

After I finished Diamonds blanket, I felt so good that I brought out another blanket that had been bothering me too. That blanket I stopped working on to do the other one. I did not have a lot to do, one 400 gr. skein of yarn and it was done. So what I had been putting off so long took me three days to finish, and a lot of happy feelings. This blanket is made out of soft green Aran yarn that come in a big 400 gr balls, and I used three skeins of it. The color does not come out right on the picture, it is a little bit greener than it shows. The pattern is called star crochet or something like that, and is fun to do. I did some single crochet around the blanket and one row of crawl stitch in the end. Beautiful in my eyes.

This is what I would like to play with next, but first I like that mood that I am in now, to finish off what I started on before I start another project. But then agin, I have been so good this last week that I can do whatever I like to do next. ;-) Right.
