It’s finished! The second granny stripe blanket I started at the beginning of September is now done! For those who missed the start of this project, you can read about the yarn I chose here.
This blanket is actually more of a throw, intended for use on our new futon. Sadly we haven’t got the new futon yet (hopefully next month, finances permitting), but here’s a pic of it draped over the old one:
I did three repetitions of the stripes, so that’s a total of 45 stripes with five rows of edging. The edging came out very nicely I think:
Each stripe took about 50-60 minutes, and each row of edging took about an hour. So that’s a total of fifty hours work to make this throw. Well worth it; it’s been very enjoyable to work on, and the finished product gives me an immense feeling of satisfaction. It’s vibrant, and warm, and really heavy! I’m looking forward to cuddling up beneath it while watching television over the winter.
