Yes this is the last time I will bore you with my new blanket .
It is finished . It is done .
I absolutely love it !
I enjoyed not having to concentrate
(I'm good at that though )
I loved that while I was making it , it kept me warm at the same time .
It was so simple and soothing .
It looks damn good on the washing line too .
My internet has been slowed way , way down until next week .
So I may as well sit with my beautiful new blanket and start on something new .

It's absolutely gorgeous! I want to make one! Or shall I just buy one? Hee hee! Mind you, if I sat and did that in an evening I would have half a chance of sticking to a diet instead of biscuit munching!
Well done, job well done Hun! xxx
Oh well done Clare! It looks amazing, it really does. I love all the bright colours in the rows. I have no idea how you have made it but I'd love to give it a go. I can't believe you are thinking about starting a new project already! I'd take a month break at least.
Love it Clare and it looks like a lot of wool was used :)
Perfect weather for a finished new blankie...enjoy wrapping yourself in it and being warm and cosy while you're working on your new project.
Congrats! It is so bright and colorful. I am sure you will enjoy using it to.

I love to crochet too, so mindless and soothing!
Never tire of your postings...and just love the blanket....
It is gorgeous Clare and I think it fits you absolutely well. It looks bright and happy as I imagine you are ;-)
We don't need a blanket now. Wish I could send you about 10 degrees of our heat!
Oh very snazzy - looks great, I love it. Hmmm....think I may have to try one of those next.
Clare it looks absolutely brilliant. So snuggly and is huge. You must be thrilled thats for sure.

It's so wonderful! I really need to learn to crochet.

By all means, "bore" us with your crocheting! I'm sure I'm not the only one who loves to see things like your beautiful, bright blanket!

It is perfect Clare. Warm and colourful and made to be shown off!
Perfect to warm you on these cool winter days and nights - and to brighten the dreary days that can be all too common at this time of year.
Well done on getting it finished this winter. Enjoy
Ahhh...I'm just sitting here in the cold imaging myself totally warm and snuggled under that colourful creation. Gorgeous work!
Why wouldnt you show this off constantly? It's crochet art! Beautiful Clare. Are you taking orders because I can't crochet to save myself.
I love your new blanket Clare, I need a few of those for this freezing Melb winter in the hills!
Oh you could so mention this blanket a million more times! and I'll love it each and every time more and more!
crochet is such a passion of mine..and I adore seeing your creation! the colours are so happy and vivid...one cannot help but feel cheery and smile when looking upon it!
thanks so much for sharing!
it is a lovely creation that I'm sure will bring you much cozy comfort in the days to come!

What a lovely and cheerful blanket. I have a feeling you may have inspired many people to get out their yarn and hook to make one for themselves.
Looks fantastic Clare...warm and cozy....
My mum still enjoys making these type of blankets and yes they are very warm too,
Take care
Is that a 3.5mm hook you've used with maybe an 8ply Clare? I've been using a 9mm with a thicker wool & love how it comes together quickly. Love the bright colours you've used.

Oh so gorgeous Clare!!
Makes me want to start another thing..... noooooooo.... stop me :p
A very beautiful & bright blanky.
Hugs & Blessings
