Crochet: Update 2 Dutch blanket

And the blanket is finished. It was a lot of work, but I really loved doing it.
Here are some pictures of the finished blanket.

This last picture is an attempt at a full view of the blanket. I nearly succeeded.

Crochet: Update 1 on the Dutch blanket

On the weekend of 10 October 2015 I finished crocheting the last few squares of the blanket. Here are the sets from week 15 up to and including 24. 

After this the work of putting them altogether is going to start. I am looking forward to it and also really looking forward to making a very nice rim around the blanket to finish it off very nicely.

So far I am having a great time with making this blanket, despite it being a lot of work. I have seen picture of finished blankets and they are looking really good. So, slowly we move on.

I will update again in some weeks.

Crochet: Dutch blanket

After I finished making the Sophie blanket, I started making the Dutch blanket (Hollanddeken). This blanket was also made in a Crochet A Long (CAL).
I am on week 16 now. It is a total of 26 weeks. I have all the patterns already as I was a late starter, just like with Sophie.
The Dutch blanket is not on a website. It is published through a facebook group and only in Dutch as far as I am aware.
The patterns do not include Tunesian crochet, but as I like that better to crochet an image into a square I used that. This means that I am by height right, but in width I am not, so I will adapt them to fit with the rest of the squares.

Here are the photos of the 16 finished weeks.

Crochet: The Sophie Blanket

Several months ago I ran into a Crochet-A-Long (CAL) which was about making a blanket, designed by Dedri.
Here you find the page where it all starts: http://www.lookatwhatimade.net/crafts/yarn/crochet/sophies-universe-cal-2015/sophies-universe-cal-2015-information/
I fell in love with it. Despite the fact that I hadn't done any crochet in at least 20 years and couldn't even remember how most stitches were done, I decided I was going to make it.
I was a very late starter, but that didn't feel like that would be a problem, as I read I wasn't the only one starting late.
I love the way it turned out.
Below you find a few pictures of my blanket.
