One More Row To Go!
According to the Ravelry project page, I began this blanket April 26, 2015, so I'm coming up on three years with it. I just checked and my Babette blanket (also crochet) took just over four years - at least I'm getting faster. I think the join-as-you-go versus sew eleventy thousand squares together at the end probably helps.
I don't have definite plans for the border yet, although I have some ideas and I do know what color will be the widest outer border. I think there will be a narrow inner border or two between the squares and the outer border. I'm also thinking of going down a hook size for the border just to keep the edges from getting stretched out. Kind of like using a smaller needle for ribbing at the edge in knitting. If anyone knows a reason why I shouldn't do this, please feel free to let me know!

I haven't crocheted in years but your beautiful blanket is giving me ideas to use up stash! What a lovely project, the colours are gorgeous.
If I may ask, any plans for a future mystery lace KAL? I adore your designs and had so much fun with your previous mystery lace projects (I still wear those three stoles and get compliments every time I wear them!). I particularly enjoyed the mystery aspect especially because your patterns are perfectly written as well as aestethically to my taste. I'd be happy to sign up for a paid KAL if you didn't want to host a free one. I know there are other paid KAL's out there but honestly yours are the only designs I'd willingly pay for before seeing the final pattern. Anyway, just a thought! I had so much fun with your previous ones and miss them.
