This darn blanket took me a whole year to knit! Not because it was so hard, or big, or that I knit so slowly. I have a small child myself and my knitting time is almost non existent! Most of this was done backstage at one music event or another (my job) .
The pattern is "Radiating Star Blanket" (free pattern!) by Alexis Layton. I don't remember what the yarn was because I bought it so long ago!
Man I love radial blanket patterns (I've done a couple of radial baby blankets that turned out great). Fantastic yarn selection and nice blocking!
Yeah me too! I like buying the giant ball of yarn and the color changes are so satisfying.
