You know what I'm talking about? Do you really? Let me show you!!!!
I L.O.V.E IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It fits nicely on a single bed and is so warm to snuggle in!!! It's got a high wool content, so a fairly high itch factor, but it's a hot blanket, meant to be used in the winter when you should be wrapped up in clothes anyway, so I don't mind! And it's mine all mine, my first ever blanket!!!
Thank you Wales for this wonderful yarn, it reminded me of my wonderful holiday in the Brecon Beacons earlier this year. I'll never forget this trip!!
Me + Go Caerphilly blanket = ♥

I'm in ♥ with it too - it's really beautiful.
Well done you - all those hours of crocheting, sewing and blocking have created the most fantastical blankie, and a fab reminder of your time in Wales.

WoooT!!!! Love your blanket!! xx
Really lovely. And statistically very interesting for a non crocheter. I never realized how long sewing in the ends and the assembly part took!
WOW!!! It is wonderful, bet you can't wait for it to get cold so you can snuggle up under it!
Oh my goodness it's beautiful! Aaah you must be so proud of it. Do you keep walking in and staring at it? That's what I did with my first blanket.
It's so lovely and grown up as well, I would like to make a sophisticated little number as a counterpart to the crazy colourful one I already have going on.
Do you have the blanket bug now?!
It's a lovely blanket - those neutrals works really well as granny squares. Well done you :¬)
Wow, WOW! That is a big ta-dah - I love your use of neutrals. That's a heirloom blanket for sure.
Fantastic. I love your blanket and your use of the natural colours of the wool. Really lovely and a wonderful souvenir of your trip!
What a great blanket. I love it. The colours are lovely and it looks really snuggly. Well worth all of the hard work.
Yippeee, it's lovely! Looks so warm and cosy and you must feel so proud for finishing it. Yay :)
Yummy food going on below there and gorgeous blanket - your house looks like the place to be this winter! :) xxx
