Facts:
- It measures 140 cm X 160 cm
- Yarn used: 'Bali' from GGH - a soft cotton/acrylic blend, about 18 balls
- Needle used: nr. 3½ or E
But I already miss making the blanket...and the cure must be to make a new one.
So that's what I do. I have found/bought the yarn - the colors are a bit different than these ones:
I love them! This yarn is thinner than I'm used to - so I will have to use a small needle. But it's ok. I will make use the pattern called 'soft waves' from the Jan Eaton book. And I will start today :-).
Have a nice day.

Gorgeous! How long did it take you?
2 month - with some long breakes in between. But I worked on it almost every night - sometimes just one row - because i enjoyed it so much. Some might say I'm addicted...:-)
I'm inspired! You did a great job. It is funny how addictive this is...can't wait to see your next version!
Oh its so pretty. Can't wait to see your next one. :)
Congratulations!
I love the new colors. It's going to be stunning. I'm definitely making one out of thinner yarn when I'm done with the thick and chunky one. It might be cooler on my lap in the summer heat. Maybe cotton...
I can't do this, but I do understand addiction--I used to live with my cross stitch practically glued to my hands! Beautiful work!
Very lovely! Well done - the colours are awesome.
Thanks to you all!
I'm very pleased with my blanket - and it's already being used much. I'm having a hard time keeping it for myself :-). My husband is convinced that it's made for him. So I have to make number 2 :-) And I have already made 4 rows. I think it will be very nice.
