Crochet projects

The blanket of doom and destruction is FINISHED! Mostly only people on IM have heard me complaining about this thing, but I've had it in my possession for over 4 years. My Nana started it for my sister, picked the pattern and bought all the yarn, and then lost most of her eyesight, at least for close work, and couldn't crochet anymore. So I said that I'd finish it for her.

Yeah, I took my sweet time on that one. But it was frustrating yarn, and the colours weren't ones I'd pick, and I whined a lot and ignored it for a few years, then decided about a month ago that I really should get it done.

( And I did! (behind the cut...) )

( And as an added bonus, this is the blanket I made for the Academic Husband for Christmas. )
