Gorgeous, I love the colour combination and C2C is a particular favourite of mine.

I've just finished this double strand basketweave blanket and am delighted to say I crocheted the border myself too!!!

Karen it's gorgeous! I have to say those knitting needles must have steam coming from them at the speed you are producing this months beautiful items. I love the two strand combination.

That's sweet of you to say, Thank You ❤️.  I'm known for having lots of projects on needles at the same time.

Beautiful, Karen, and well done on crocheting the border - it looks incredibly even.

Vos couvertures sont toujours magnifiques Karen et celle-ci est royale avec sa bordure parfaite qui  fait ressortir les couleurs. En tricot les points nattés sont vraiment mes préférés.
Utilisez-vous des aiguilles circulaires pour atteindre une largeur de 100 cm ?

Thank you ✔️.   I use long needles (35cms) + leave my knitting in one place when I knit an all-in-one large piece.    If I were transporting the project from bag to seat, to bag etc I would certainly use a circular needle.   It takes me about 5 nights to knit the bulk so I plan my knitting time wisely ❤️

LOVE the honey/caramel tones in this blanket, Karen. :))

Your border is super neat. On the rare occasions I have edged a blanket, it always has the 'ripple effect'....haha.

I’m so impressed you knitted a full size blanket in one piece! The colours and pattern are lovely and your border sets it off beautifully!

Wow...this looks complicated and so time consuming.  Fabulous yarn, and kudos for the crochet border.

Five night to complete the bulk...you are a speed demon and have your needles on auto pilot.
