It Is Finished!

 

This is what I've been working on all last week!  The Meditative Blanket is finished.  I began this April 26, 2015 and I finished it this past Saturday, March 17, 2018.

The finished size is 52.5" x 66".  There are 720 squares total (24 x 30).  It's all done in fingering weight with a 2.75mm hook for the squares and a 2.25mm hook for the borders.

If I were to do it again, I might use a 3.25mm hook for the squares, just to make the blanket a little less dense.  It weighs 1433g, which if you assume 400 yards/100g means 5,732 yards of fingering weight yarn were used.  That sounds high to me, but maybe not.

I think the important thing to remember is that after almost three years, Max has a new blanket.  He actually woke up from a nap to inspect it after its blocking while I was getting the blog photos!
