This blanket began back in the last week of February and is now about 1.3m long. Being a 'recession' blanket it is being crocheted from all the leftover yarn from other projects. Of course a true recession blanket would be made from yarn unravelled from jumpers the family has grown out of. But no.
I'm quite pleased with how it is turning out and particularly love the occasional shot of fire introduced with this left over Noro Silk Garden yarn. I have one more ball of that colour to introduce somewhere. Meanwhile I have several more balls of yarn of other colours to introduce so I will continue until they are all gone, or the blanket is at a ridiculous length.
The blanket is at that lovely stage of being able to be used to warm my feet and legs as I crochet. Last night Firegazer and I were fighting over it. Clearly, as the worker bee I should get the lions share.
Next time I should crochet one in a double-width.

Lucky you obviously planned all your other projects in colourways to complement such a project ..
( because this looks *lovely* and not the mis-matchy you'd expect from odds&sods )
Gorgeous ( and nice to see you about now & again, Ms Corporate ;)
Not bad for crochet.
:)
Lovely colours! What great 'leftover colours' at that!
*She admits* I'm deliberately leaving out the baby pink I have left over...and maybe the 6 balls of left over bright yellow that my son chose for his hot water bottle won't make it to the blanket either...
It is lovely, but perhaps with more barbie pink it would be safe from the firegazer...
