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!
And now I have another item added to my to-knit list. This is so beautiful!
Impressed with your dedication to complete this with all the busyness going on in your life.
