After FOUR years I'm finally finished!!!

With my blanket at least! In high school, my friend Kori got me hooked on crocheting...she did so many blankets in a few weeks time...while I was just working on one. Then I started college and it got pushed aside working on it every now and then and on breaks. I finished a couple of scarves for christmas 2 years ago...but my blanket was still unfinished...


UNTIL TONIGHT!


I finally finished it after 4 years in the making. I'm pretty proud of it. Its the size of my twin size comforter. It wasn't suppose to be that big, it just happened!

Here it is on my bed


And that's it folded in half so you can see the detail a bit more. I put the lavender boarder around the whole thing. I love the colors, but it doesn't match anything I have any more, it did when I was in high school. Oh well I'll use it to keep me warm while I'm watching TV. And maybe someday if I have a daughter it can be on her bed...until then I think it's pretty cool that my own two hands did that!
