Crochet Along: Finished Blanket Photos

[Shandeh]

Here is my finished blanket. I'm not too sure about the brown but it is too late to change it now. I had to use stash yarn for this. I had so much fun and learned alot. This got me out of my comfort zone and made me try something new. I did have a devil of a time with clue 6 so I did clue 5 in my green. I did a sc followed by a 5dc shell border. This is for my grandma who inspired me to learn crochet. I will be waiting for the next CAL.

Nice symmetrical layout!

Here's the officially finished blue one. I felt like it only needed the recommended border

Very nice!

Attached are pictures of my CAL 2012 that I have been working on. I made it for a friend of mine at work who was diagnosed and treated for thyroid cancer. She is 32, married, and has 4 kids. The blanket is made of colors she liked when she saw me making other blankets for another friend. I gave it to her today, and she was so happy. I love it when that happens!!!! Beth

You are a wonderful friend! I wish I had a friend like you.

...Having finished my blanket I sat watching tv with my hubby last night and my hands felt empty with nothing to work on after being so busy the last couple of months...........I covered myself with my pretty new blanket and enjoyed the show.

Great choice! Enjoying your work is the best part of the project!

Amazing job Beth!

Sorry about your friend. It's nice that you can give her a gift that is hand made and apart of you.

I've read the forums often since joining for this year's CAL, but I rarely post anything. Looking at all these lovely designs though, it's hard to stay quiet. There are so many beautiful blankets and stories to go along with them and so many friendly people here. Thank you Bernat and all you ladies for making this such a fun place to share our love of crochet! Though I've been crocheting for about 16 years, I have learned alot here.

Having finished my blanket I sat watching tv with my hubby last night and my hands felt empty with nothing to work on after being so busy the last couple of months. My hubby of course said that now I could focus on the tv show I wanted to start a baby blanket for a lady in my church who is expecting, but the baby is due soon and I'm having hand surgery next Monday so I don't think I'll be crocheting for a bit . . . but it is my left hand so maybe I wouldn't need to use it as much. Instead I covered myself with my pretty new blanket and enjoyed the show.

Sorry to hear about your hand I hope it isn't serious. Cute story tho
sounds like your husband is like mine. I was working on my border all day today and hubby says aren't you done yet? I just glared. I know I'll feel the loss too.
