(See final blanket and free pattern here)
I have now been working on this blanket for a little over a month and I really like how it's coming a long. Whenever I crochet blankets with lots of different colours and a 'random' colour scheme, I always doubt myself and the project - a million times - while working on it. I always wonder if the colours really go together, should I have chosen other colours, are there too many...you name it. But I've found that the key to overcome this is to just keep going - even if you're not sure you like the colours. With projects like these, it really comes together after a little while. You can't base the final look of the project on just a few rows - the design of the blanket, with its multitude of colours, only reveals itself once you're further down the line. So my mantra is always 'keep going':)
I'm just over half way now and hope to be done in about three weeks, Then I still have to deal with app. 500 loose ends and the border - but I can't wait to see the final result.
I really adore the Tunisian full stitch - it creates such a nice and neat texture - it almost looks woven. I'm already playing around with other designs for my next Tunisian full stitch blanket - inspired by Scandinavian knitting. But I will get back to that in another post soon.

Happy Easter.
