I did it. I have completed the most epic knitting project I have ever done and I still love it despite all the hard work that went in to it!
I really struggled with getting the border on - no seaming I did looked nice so I finally decided on crocheting it on. While crocheting worked I was too tight in some places so the corners of the blanket were distorted. I really didn't want to block it again but I am so thankful I did - it relaxed those seams and the blanket now lays perfectly flat.
Tomorrow this blanket will leave my house and go to it's new home. I started this blanket on July 3rd and it is finally leaving three months later!
Someday I will make another one of these for our couch using bulky weight yarn, but that won't be for a long while!
Pattern: Sunbreak by Margaret Mills, in Twist Collective Spring/Summer 2011
Yarn: Knit Picks Swish DK in Semolina colorway, 16 skeins
