Honestly, I didn’t think I would ever finish. To my surprise,
yesterday between the masses, Nana’s blanket became a completed project! I am beyond
joyful. As I type, it is in the washing machine. A gorgeous, warm day waits to
dry it in the breeze and I have an enormous smile on my face.
From Feb.27 to April 29, this has been my main WIP. It’s bittersweet;
I’m sure to miss touching it every day. Since
adding the black outline, the afghan grew in size. I stop adding yo-yos and
have 59 left. The blanket already fits a twin bed. It contains 580 circles (20x29).
I can sew the left overs into a matching pillow. Thank you to all who have
encouraged me to keep plugging away until I was done. This is truly my most
rewarding project so far. I can’t wait to sleep with it tonight.
Be sure to check out Nana's blanket part 1.
What a wonderful job you did on it, Jessica!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brenda :)
Deletethis is so truly amazing that you did this. took alot of patience, not something i could have done,,,, cheers to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didn't think I could do it either and if she didn't mean so much or i I didn't appreciate the time and effort, I may not have. Large projects overwhelm me, so it was easier to save her work than EVER start something like this from scratch, but I think I may have caught the bug. :)
DeleteThis is so beautiful! I am impressed with your patience.
ReplyDeleteYou have some major patience! Love the colors~
ReplyDeletei hate to mislead you all, i don't have patience, I think I'm a little stubborn. LOL Thank you all for your compliments, this was very hard for me to stick with. I hope if I do make a yo-yo blanket from my scraps, i will stick with it, and that's is so much easier with you rooting me on :)
