It was so heavy knitting it that Popeye would be envious of my arm muscles now.
*Flexes arms for emphasis*

Popeye sure would be jealous if he saw your arms :p Very well done for your knitting effort and I hope it wins you a good prize at your state fair :)

Congratulations TL and good luck! :D

Thank you everyone for your kind words ♥

Here it is. I washed it and hung it on my washing line to dry this morning.

My camera is rubbish, doesn`t show the true colours at all. Here is a better look as to the true colours. Which is the WV Mountaineers flag colours.

Great blanket and lovely colours, you are so talented :)

Looks amazing and so creative of you. Hope you can rest your arms and relax now

looks lovely so jealous im not that creative

Thank you all so much for your kind comments.
My latest creation was 2 years in the making. By the time I designed it, typed out the pattern to print out - it took nearly a week. On average each row took 35 minutes to knit.
I will never knit in that colour blue again - it was really hard to see.

double post.
Although with that dark blue yarn, it did give me double vision LOL
:D

Thanks swm
I still have a second lace baby blanket to knit for my neighbour`s twins which are due any day. At least the blankets are much lighter.
