Homemade Blanket

This crocheted blanket is the only homemade Christmas gift I made this year. It's a good thing I didn't plan on other projects, because I kept messing this one up. The problem with making up my own pattern is fixing what doesn't work. I finally figured out the trick, but not until my fourth do-over. I love how it turned out, and hopefully the person receiving it loves it, too.

    1. It kept me warm while I was making it! I might make one in different colors for our couch.

    1. Thanks! I keep trying to knit, too, but it always feels awkward.

  3. Crocheting is SO hard. I can't do a single loops when it comes to knitty or chrochety crafts. I wish I had more time for handmade gifts this year but I didn't do too bad I guess considering I whipped up a few very imperfect baby quilts for nieces this year. Makingi your own pattern for anything can be a struggle unless you're proficient at that type of creative work. (I know in not). You did a great job I love the colours you used & it looks so snuggle and warm :)

    1. This came in as spam?! Weird. I have yet to try quilting - I think it's all the ironing involved that discourages me :) Have a great (white) Christmas!
