This is my most ambitious project to date, the Faith CAL by Helen Shrimpton (with a few modifications).

What big or small blankets are you working on?

Only blanket I’ve made.

Edit: I used this pattern.

Thank you! I love yours. I want to make a fancier one like that eventually but I keep making clothes.

Well, I’ve made about a zillion baby blankets, so making a really big one didn’t seem like too much of a step. Clothes, though, that’s something I’ve yet to attempt!

I made this simple one when I started crocheting a couple years back.

Very nice! Is that bernat blanket yarn? How did you find it to work with?

It is! I found it was decent to work with but it was a bit too bulky for my taste.

Wow! I need more photos of that blanket. It looks impressive!

I’ve never crocheted a blanket. It is a big project I think I’ll tackle by crocheting one granny square a day for the rest of my life a few months, hopefully to get through my yarn stash of shame.

Edit: typo… though a “yawn stash” sounds accurate this morning.

Making squares into a blanket is a great way to do it :) And the squares themselves can be very satisfying just because they go from casting on to finished so quickly. It’s nice to have something that works up fast, especially if you’ve got bigger things also on the go.

Here’s a close-up of part of the underside:

And you can see a little more detail here (the flowers are the centre parts of big squares for the border that I’m working on adding):

This is gorgeous. It is like a sun-kissed beach.

And soon with flowers! Such a puzzle. I admire you. I hope it goes great ✨
