I am almost ready to start the border, I decided I didn’t need more pattern rows as I think it is long enough :). Sorry for the lighting, we had drizzling rain off and on most of the day and no sunshine so nice pictures are a bit of a hit and miss. When I’m done I’ll wash and block it and take a better picture. :). I have also been working on the Hats for Warmth Project that I do to send hats to the local homeless shelter. Maybe next week I can start on those stranded knitting Christmas tree balls that I bought last year from Arne and Carlos’ website. I can watch their YouTube video for instructions on how to do it. Their Christmas Stockings and sock patterns are on sale at the moment. Closer to Christmas they might have their Christmas tree balls patterns on sale as well, they are really pretty :).

Such a beautiful blanket! The color is SO gorgeous. It’s funny, I went to get some and in person the color didn’t appeal to me. I’ll settle for just looking at yours ❤

It’s called indigo, but it looks denim to me :). I made a hat that color too for my Hats for warmth project.

I’ve thought it would be fun to have a small Christmas tree with only knitted ornaments and garland. I have made ornaments with small clear balls from Hobby Lobby and filled them with tiny snips of leftover yarn. Someday. Your blanket looks great. I’m loving my knitting area being in our 4 seasons room but with the windows it does get nippy. Looks like I’m going to need a lap blanket. Yea!! A use for my leftovers and minis!!!
