I delivered the Chromium Star baby blanket tonight. I am in love and it was hard parting with it. The pic is before I put it in the wash. It looks even more beautiful once blocked. Would it be weird to make one for myself? I think just a little bit.
I think I can officially say that crochet is faster than knit for me. I finished this in 10 days without really trying too hard. I’m getting ready to start another little blanket, also from a sweater. I’ll have some before pics soon!
recycled: This blanket used to be a sweater. I happened to know the knitter, so I can tell you that the yarn is Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. It washes (gentle cycle in cold) and dries (on low) beautifully.

I am so glad you parted with it! It’s beautiful. Once I get a better grip on crochet, I’m going to give this pattern a go. It’s even more special since the yarn came from Tana. Love, love, love!
some things are just so hard to part with, I am understanding you! Looks wonderful, by the way xx
