This summer I took a sort of hiatus from selling to make my sister and her husband a blanket for their wedding π This is my first big blanket and my biggest project to date.
I am so happy I could give them a unique and heartfelt gift that will last them years to come. My great grandmother was an avid crocheter herself and would always gift an afghan for most every family wedding or birth and I am proud I got to carry on this tradition.
I worked on this anywhere I could: hammocking in the woods, friend's houses, working at the farm stand, and driving to the wedding. I finished weaving in the ends after the rehearsal dinner. I lost sleep worrying if I was going to be able to finish it on time or whether they would even like it.
Each row of this project took ~at least~ an hour each and the whole thing weighs ~at least~ 10 pounds.
I'm happy to say they loved it, they both cried, and it's proudly displayed in their home. I love them both dearly and this was the best way I could express that.
I will not be taking blanket commissions at this time β‘
