Ryan's blanket!

I finished Ryan's blanket today and I was so excited! I just gave it to him. Before I did, I took photos of it because it is was a massive project making a knee rug. I started this blanket when my dad was in hospital after his first stroke. It kept my hands busy while I sat at his bedside helping him to eat etc...and now it is completed and my dad is at home and independant. Between that, and the fact it is my biggest blanket yet and that it is for my gorgeous hubby makes it a very special UFO to have finished!

I lay it out to take a photo before I gave it to Ryan and Flynn decided he would like to help model it's lovely warmth lol.

This is what it looks like close up, only the colours are all much darker. It's a burgundy red, navy blue and forest green but the flash has made it look lighter.

Yay me! It's all finished!

Orchid cross-stitch completed!

Yay the orchid cross-stitch is completed. It just needs washing, ironing and framing.


It was an interesting cross-stitch, I had to use three strands for the white petals, two for everything else except the leaves and centres of the flowers were one strand.



Pretty isnt it?
