Finished Blanket


you got a sneak peek yesterday

and here it is

the finished blanket!





110 squares of each about 3.5 inch, 9 cm

16 colors

weighing about 700 grams





inspired by the Dutch-Canadian blanket I made last year

but in a different color scheme to match the soon to be born girl's room






wrapped and shipped in coordinated wrapping

I absolutely love this blanket and how it turned out, I enjoyed making it, it certainly is one of my faves so far

it is supposed to arrive at it's new owner this week... so exciting to hear what she thinks of it!

~

and now I'm off, working on the new blanket for our very own niece

more about the new blanket, NY city and Purl Bee, and the charity blankets in the next days

    Such cheerful colours and I love the edging!
    P.S.
    ... but I don't love the word verifications which I often have to try and decipher more than once...!

    Wat een prachtige deken is het geworden, zoals al de andere dekentjes ook. Dit weekend heb ik een foto gemaakt van de miami girl die ik haakte. Ook zo'n leuk dekentje van jouw ontwerp! De granny's wil ik ook eens proberen. Wat voor afmeting is dit dekentje? Ik heb niet zoveel kijk op de maten, maar de miami girl is denk ik formaat omslagdekentje. Het dekentje hierboven is bedoeld voor een bedje?
    De moeder zal er van genieten,

    Mooi hoor! Ik ben druk draadjes aan het afhechten van mijn Miami Beach dekentje. Dan nog de witte rand.
    Vind het nu al zonde om hem weg te moeten geven. groeten
