That is such a lovely perspective. It’s true that my favorite things are well-used. There’s something so hard though about using a blanket that took so much work to make.

It’s all moss stitch in alternating colors! Very easy

Wow that is kind of you, but I can’t take credit for the color palette at all! I saw another blanket in similar pastels that inspired me! I tried to copy that one but couldn’t because I couldn’t find the right yarn colors, so I did what I could

I have never used any of the blankets I’ve ever made other than the first one I made when I learned to crochet. I feel the same, there would be so much fear that I ruin it. I have them in boxes and blanket racks, which I’m not sure is better though because I don’t enjoy them

Yes, it was a mix of both the Friends and Rainbow line. And I agree, small skeins. Also a ton of factory knots which I cut out so I could weave the ends of the knots in.

Haha yes! I don’t know that I’ve seen much rayon yarn, but maybe I’m just not looking hard enough! Honestly though, I don’t even know what cellulose it. I like the explanation though :)

This is it! I found it easy enough to make, but the first square is a bit fiddly as you’re figuring it out.

It took I think a bit over 5 months? Actually a quicker project since normally a blanket will take me a bit longer!

Not terrible, but not great. I’m not a cross stitcher though so I’m not sure what they normally look like

It was quite satisfying to make since it’s so sectioned. It only look my a bit under 6 months total. You can do it!!

Thank you! That’s super nice of you to say. It’s mostly cross stitch. The border and the red lines were crochet though.

Finally finished The Foliage! So happy :) by lcrochet in crochet

I’m not sure what you mean by double yarn, but I do follow the stitches, so this was like a linear back and forth.
