When Xmas rolled in a few weeks ago, I realized I did not post about the blanket I made for Suketu for Xmas 2010. Yes, 2010. "I will take pictures tomorrow, I will take pictures tomorrow" led to 12 months flying by.
This blanket was began close the heels of the first Law & Order Blanket. Almost complete, it was tucked away from many months. Obviously. I had to make the second L & O blanket for Anya-to-be. And then finally, I was inspired to finish this particular one for Suketu's den in our new (well, it was new in 2010) home.
These pictures were taken this morning. And I must say that after one year of use (especially child-use), the blanket has held up very well. I used Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool--comes in many neutral colors, and has great yardage.
Will I be making such a monster of a L&O blanket again? Maybe. As you will see soon, I have been caught by the blanket fever.
Pattern: my own recipe
Yarn: Cascade Yarns Ecological Wool. So many skeins, I lost count.
Needle: 5mm

Giant granny square blankets like that are my favorite to make. It seems like you get more "distance" with the yarn and make a blanket larger as a granny square, compared to other designs that just seem to eat the yarn up!
And you will be writing up the pattern when...?
LOL. Love relaxing patterns like that for TV watching
Oh, I am an L&O addict, too! Love the blankets!
Love the neutral colors you have chosen. Blankets are great for mindless knitting, aren't they? I am working on Big Bang Theory blanket as we speak.
Just how big was it? By the end it would have taken me weeks to finish one row.
I like the neutral colors in this blanket! Love Cascade Eco for this and the yardage is such a bonus.
very beauifull...what a great look!
What a stunning backdrop to show off your lovely blanket!! So nice!
Lovely! and, you've got a great view from your balcony!
Lovely!! I like particularly the shots with the skyline in the background, makes so much sense compositionally.
This is a beautiful blanket you made! I love the colors you chose!
I could have sworn that I commented before! :"(
I love this blanket so much and you're making me miss home! I have a feelih we loved close to each other since I lived in jersey :) are you in jersey?
Gorgeous blanket :) love it!
I love these simple yet beautiful blankets! And my goodness, such great city views as a backdrop! Love it!!!
I love your Law & Order blankets. I watch a LOT of Law $ Order myself. Haha! This one is so wonderfully masculine. I find it hard to find masculine enough crochet patterns, but this one works! Lovely!! I love blanket fever!
what a great blanket...love the neutral colors...and I adore that shot of it with the city skyline in the background! great job!
I love this blanket!!! The first pic is my favourite by far. I love using the Cascade Eco Wool and now after seeing this gorgeous blanket must add one like it to my list of projects to do..
Jodie :)
i hope you do post the pattern soon. i don't watch Law & Order as devotedly as you do, but netflix sure does make it easy for me to bounce over to catch an episode or two. i personally love Vincent D'Onofrio, his character is fantastic. if you post this pattern, i would only make it while watch L&O, i promise.
