Dream in progress... part 18

I'm snuggled in under my Babette blanket on the couch and I started edging my blanket with red thread. I've only done 1,5 of the 4 edges so far and I plan to make it 3 stitches wide.
With the little time I seem to have these days, I 'm glad to have actually started it.
It will probably be ready when all the snow and cold is gone...*sigh*

  17. Love your blanket,it is brilliant. I made a babette scarf, could not believe how long it took to sew in ends and squares together! So I appreciate the time and effort you have taken!
    I bought a cheap fleece blanket from a supermarket as material for lining it, makes it really really warm.
