My vintage blanket: it is D O N E !! Hurrayyy!
Good morning!
My vintage blanket is done 🙂 Finally, the first blanket which is all mine, yes mine 🙂 This time, I will not for any any reason give away this blanket… (selfish on Christmas time this is very very bad 🙂 )
I love this blanket…I love MY blanket… wanna see it ?? yalla…
It is so “wintery” with all this white… like a field of flowers in a snowy morning … mmmmmh
The yarn used is Nako vizon a 100% acrylic yarn.
The hook: 4.5mm
Don’t ask me about the number of colors, I don’t exactly remember…It was leftovers I had in my stash with maybe 8 or 9 100g ball of off-white yarn…
150 squares joined as-I-go 🙂 You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.
And after I joined all the squares together I’ve made this border which I adore. I’m gonna post the graphic pattern of this edging next time maybe, so if you’re interested, stay tuned 😉
Dim: 110×165 cm
Last night was my first evening snuggled under my blanket while crocheting my rainbow ripple in front of the fire lit in the fireplace… a PERFECT evening 🙂
and you? what is for you a perfect evening?
5 more days before Christmas… The count down has began 🙂
I wish you a PERFECT monday, a PERFECT week and a perfect Holidays season 🙂

Makes me want to crochet a blanket too, although I’m working on a granny square cushion… and first I’ll have to find some courage to work on such a big project. 🙂
Angie,
You deserve every praise you are getting for this – and for all your other beautiful projects – and yes, definitely keep it as a Christmas gift for yourself!
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, greetings from Brazil.

Your blanket is beautiful and you are so right in keeping it for yourself. I too make and give away all my crochet projects, one of these days I will make something that is just for me to keep. I enjoy visiting your blog as there is always a good healthy dose of colour!
Merry Christmas from Canada, joyeux Noël du canada!

That border is perfect! Enjoy warming yourself under your beautiful blanket this winter. I have spent a few evenings watching ‘Wives and Daughters’ with my daughter and crocheting. Those have been very fun and relaxing to us 🙂
Well Done! I love visiting your blog and seeing all of the BEAUTIFUL and CREATIVE projects you do! Thank you for sharing a piece of your world with all of us – it really brightens my day! 😀
You deserve it! Let it be all yours. It’s wonderful. Have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new Year.

Angie,
Congrats on finishing your blankie. It’s beautiful. My husband thought so too. Now he wants me to make us one. I think it’s just fine to be a little selfish, considering the time and work you’ve put into it. I love the edging. I can’t wait to see how to make it. Happy Holidays.
Blessings,
Misty and Pets.
Beautiful blanket!! Love the colors and looking forward to doing one of my own to use left over yarns.
Angie, gefeliciteerd met zo’n prachtige deken met zoveel sprankelende kleuren, fantastisch!!! Daar lig je met plezier onder en het staat zo vrolijk in je kamer. Prettige Kerstdagen en een Gelukkig

Hiya! I am really new to your blog but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I love the stuff that you share here and I can’t wait to read more. I just started my second blog, a crochet blog, and hope that maybe sometime I can do an interview with you about your crochet.
This blanket is simply amazing. My fiance asked me if I could make a blanket for our first house, and I have been looking for some inspiration. This is beautiful and just might be the inspiration I needed.
