6/9/2013: I’m very happy with the end result of the blanket! When I first saw this pattern on Mary Maxim I thought this yarn would go along well with it but didn’t want to buy the kit. After searching other patterns and having no luck finding a pattern I liked, I decided to buy the kit for the pattern in April 2013. When the kit came in the mail I decided to complete the kit with the Mary Maxim yarn first with the intention of learning the in’s and out’s of the pattern since I had read there were difficulties……and there were! Like round 28 for example but for me it was skipping round 31 on my first blanket which I later corrected. That happened because of bad planning on my part and watching the Sundance channel. :O)

This blanket might be donated or given away as a present.
Note: I haven’t washed and/or blocked this blanket yet.
