Literally:

I’m making a throw blanket for myself.  I’ll be honest, I’m in love with it.  First of all, I’ve never made a blanket for myself, I rarely crochet things for myself besides a quick scarf or cowl here or there.  The perk of making a blanket is that once it gets to a certain size you can use it to keep warm while you work on it!

The yarn is from Michael’s, it’s their private brand: Loops & Threads.  The type is Cozy Wool in “Aster” and “Harvest.”  And I got he pattern from a small booklet by Bernat called “Around the Season Afghans” that I picked up in the store.

The pattern I’m using is for a different size yarn so I had to adjust for that, and I’m creating my own stripe pattern, so I’m adjusting for that too.  Stay tuned for the “after” picture.  Happy Friday!
