There is more than one color in this row! ;)

Here is my current wip (work in progress).

I call it Sam's universe, because I hope that this will be first blanket for my baby girl that she doesn't throw away during her naps … she loves twirling around the bed and all of previously tried blankets have been recognized just as obstacles :D

Original pattern is called Sophie's Universe and is well written and just fabulous!
It is a CAL (crochet along) so far there is 6 weeks but there will be 20 - it is gonna be a fabulous blanket :)

But here in this blog post I wanted to talk about the tulip row from week 5 (round 39) because I wanted to make colorful tulips and that's what I did!

Happy New* year!

*well I did miss the European one and it is too early for the Chinese one .. lets say this is new year entirely for me :)

Lately I have been too preoccupied with my family, gifts, parties and trying to get some sleep in between night shifts at the "milk factory", that I just didn't want to think about my crafty new years resolution … but I can't hide from in any longer so here IT comes.

My Crafty NY resolution.

V-stitch baby blanket

Fastest baby blanket I have EVER made!
It is really fast growing and it turns out so soft and looks amazing. Ideal for crochet newbie! :)

This one I made for my soon to be born niece and I am thinking that I should make another one just for fun.

Btw, for you out there and myself in the future - you should not work every row (and color) from one side as I did but start each new row at the beginning of the previous one. Otherwise your blanket will not be square or rectangle but rather a parallelogram...

There are some more photos that I made as the blanket grew :)

BBB progressreport: The last one.

It took me 3 years ... (well i did a lot of other stuff in between, but anyway 3 years is a long time)
But I finally DID IT - My Big Bright Blanket is done. and it took me just about two months to get to actual writing of this blogpost :D

I love how it turned out :)
and here are my little princess trying to "help" me with blanket pictures :D

In numbers:

• 3 - is for the number of years it took for me to finish it;
• 6 - is for layers of edging I chose to do till it felt right and the hearts ♡ on my squares;
• 15 - is for all the different yarn colors I used;
• 18 - is the number or blog posts I have written about it (including this one, all the other pregressreports and squares, schemes and formulas that I made up for this blanket)
• 46 different square patterns used (well I might have miscounted, it got quite difficult after 20);
• 50 is the number of skeins of yarn I used (at least)
• 2151 stands for grams this baby weights :) well I actually expected more..

BBB progressreport: Edging

I made one little mistake … and so my 6 layers of edging are a bit wiggly ..

And as the layers were put on one another it wiggled a lot more ..  but I kind of don't care for it to be perfect so I went with it.

For next time thou I might prefer it to BE perfect so I am logging here the possible solution for future me.
