Blanket at last! (sort of....)

So, since I finished that blanket, I've been dying to post pictures.  I worked on that thing off and on for a year.  Thanks to Lucy's awesome tutorials, I was able to figure out how to make some ripple-y goodness, and from there it just took off.  Now, I don't have the mad color matching skills that she does (or that most humans probably do).  I tend to just fluuuuuergh my colors everywhere, randomly.  I knew this blanket was going to be for me (and maybe my husband, if I decide to be nice and share.... :), and I never can decide on what colors I want to use.  Funny how that works - I can picture in my mind the perfect colors for a friend or family member, or a new design that I want to try and create.  But when it comes to me - well, I just love everything.  I want to use everything.  That's exactly what I did with this blanket.  And I've got to tell you - I LOVE the results. 

I don't have any good pictures to post.  Unfortunately.  This massive monster blanket is just so BIG that I'm having trouble finding a way to post it in its complete blanket-y state.  Here's a sneak peek though:

 

 



My idea is that this afternoon when I get off work I can head to the park and snap some picture of it there.  Hopefully the soft grasses and sunny skies will be a great backdrop, and the space will allow me to take a picture of the whole enchilada.  Our little apartment doesn't have much unused floor space these days, and I just can't get it unfolded all the way there.  I guess I didn't realize how big this blanket was.  Or how small our apartment actually is.  It's fine with me though - it gives me a great opportunity to get outside more.  That fresh air is so good for the soul.  Stay tuned for a big pic!
