It will be a blanket if I can finish it before Christmas. I have a lot of work to do, but hope to finish it.

What do you think of the color combination?

It's all of her favorite colors.

The length is about 78 inches. I'm not sure how wide I will go, but will add a shell edging also.

I'll check my colors and be back to let you know. The cream (off white) is Aran by Red Heart yarn.

The colors look great! Looks like a curl up with a book and cup of tea on a rainy afternoon type of blanket.

I used a five color rotation of Red Heart yarns: Lt. Raspberry, Orchid, Baby Pink, Lt. Blue, and Aran. I'll post a picture when finish it also. The edging will be in the Lt. Raspberry.

Kristina, that is just beautiful! The stitches look so perfectly even and you did a marvelous job on picking out the colors. I am not very good at putting colors together and we won't talk about how my stitches look. lol

I was able to gain on this blanket yesterday. Yay! I think I gained about 8 inches in width.
