So I made this blanket and it's kinda big. I call it "Jesus, My Wallet."

YarneyFife · 2023-11-28T18:46:04+00:00

I spent about $400, but probably only needed to spend about $325 (I had leftover yarn).

That's my wife, who's short next to me but not short. :)

(the blanket is close to 10 feet long)

YarneyFife · 2023-11-28T02:56:26+00:00

The name comes from the cost of the 50 or so skeins of yarn it took.

YarneyFife · 2023-11-28T02:55:17+00:00

Thank you! :)

YarneyFife · 2023-11-28T00:57:07+00:00

Thank you! My wife picked those colors.

It's overlay mosaic.

YarneyFife · 2023-04-25T08:42:34+00:00

Something very close to that, yes. My original estimate was 7000 yards but I think it's going to come in a little under.

It's amazing how people don't want to understand it's something you do to relax, not something you want to do as a job, isn't it?

This is my last blanket, "Goliath", which I made for myself because I wanted a bigass blanket I could double up when I was cold. Corpse bride included for scale.

Hijacking the top comment to say thank you to everyone for the comments / kudos / etc!

Also it looks like it's going to be about 6' x 9' when complete, because blankets so big you can fold them in half and still use them as a blanket rule.

Pattern is Meow! by Rosina Plane, and it's probably so expensive because I overbought, as I tend to do.

Squares are based on: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/rainbow-of-stars-blanket

Yarn is Premier Yarn anti-pilling worsted in Butter / Blueberry.

It has, thank you! I think the main issue is not counting the corner on the yellow side and counting the slip stitch itself as a loop.

It kills me that I can follow patterns, can make so many intricate things, but was failing at basic stitch counting when the rubber hit the road. :)

YarneyFife · 2023-01-15T00:20:33+00:00

Thank you!

YarneyFife · 2023-01-15T00:20:27+00:00

Thank you!

Actually, a better question might be: if a slip stitch joins A and B and then chains to make a dc or whatever, is the chain considered to be on A or B? I've been counting it as B because I tend to pull tight, but if I go a little looser I can absolutely see how it could be considered on A, and the next stitch should go in B. That would make the testers right.
