happy, happy, happy.... finished!

you see miya and i had a deal. she will get a "big girl" bed and i will make her a blanket for it. i thought it might help her to except a new bed. and it worked brilliantly, she calls it her "lucky blanket".
it took me almost a full year to finish it, just in time - lucky blanket indeed!

yarn is jitterbug from colinette, measurements are 45" by 65" (114cm by 165cm).

happy, happy, happy...

this will be a present for miya. she is slowly outgrowing her crib/toddler bed. i was thinking about how i could make her transition to a bigger bed easier. well, for one she loves blankets.
i remembered all the beautiful blankets i saw on ravelry & fickr. especially the one from liselotte. so i got myself a crochet hook, some yarn, a pattern and off i went.
i did not crochet for many, many years and had forgotten how easy and relaxing it can be. and this pattern is just that. wave after wave of the same stitch, with a little fun of choosing the next color. perfect
