Dream in progress... part 11

Time to update you on the progress of my Babette blanket. I finished crocheting the remaining three 6-round squares. When I put them away in my box I saw all the thread ends screaming at me. So I decided to sew in all the ends before I would continue crocheting on the last 7 8-round squares. I'll be doing lots more sewing when putting the blanket together so I'm just spreading it a bit. If anyone is starting a blanket, I advise you to sew in all ends after every round! :) But I can't show you the done pile yet, as I have been too busy claying this week.
Hopefully finished piles next week! :)

I created a Babette blanket set on Flickr so you can see the progress all together! :)

  4. I think it should be done that way, Inger, but I didn't leave enough thread to do it that way. Besides, there are thread every time you change color and as you can see: I changed lots of colors! ;)

  12. So delish. Love all the colors. What a wonderful idea for my next project. Can't wait to see the finish product. I know the piece together is my least favorite part, until it's all done. Then I'm crazy about it.
