So here it is. The finished blanket. The evil thing that kept me knitting and finishing all weekend right up until I had to leave. The blanket that stopped all progress on the other blanket, meaning I wasn't able to finish that to include in the baby shower gift. The thing that prevented me from eating breakfast or lunch and made me watch Duplex on Comedy Central because I didn't want to take the time to change the channel.
I love this blanket so much. I seriously cried when it was done. I don't want go all ego about it and claim that it's the best work I've ever done and all, But Damn. I love this blanket. I love the colors and the animals and the border (one color on each side) and that it's soft and warm and can go in the washing machine even though it's wool. I love it. I'm so proud of it.
It's amazing what you can do when you purl instead of knit or vice versa. So simple and easy to make, but so lovely. I hope it lasts a long time.
