O.K. I'll stop now. I doubted I'd like this blanket until I steam blocked it, and put it on the ground to see it all for the first time. Until then, I was not sure, but I DO love it.
pattern: Old Forge by Stephen West
yarn: my own handspun yarn, with fiber from Corgi Hill Farm, and FatCatKnits Fiber Club
needle: 3.75mm, should/could have used 4.5mm
size: 50 inches in diameter
mods: made kfb increases, because I like how they look; left out lace stitch pattern, and the stitch pattern before the knit on edge; made YO increases with contrasting color instead of M1's.

Since this gets me a ticket for the draw, I have to tell you that Corgi Hill Farm has a Anniversary Sale and Contest too! on April 16th. You'll find more info on it in this Ravelry thread. Basically with every purchase, and shout out about it, you get a ticket for the draw.

oh my goodness, this is gorgeous! i can see how you might have been skeptical about how the blueness at the edges would match with the yellowness at the center, but it really REALLY works. alice's comment about it looking like an aztec sunburst is spot on! i guess i'll have to queue this one after all...
Drop. Dead. Gorgeous!
Wow!! I love your color sense. I wouldn't have imagined that it would look like this when I saw it on the needles.
Oh, my, I totally, totally, TOTALLY love it!! Gorgeous!
das ist absolut gigantisch schön!!!
Grüßle, die Bea
Beautiful colors.. it looks like the sunrise :))
Looking at the original blanket pattern it wasn't a project I would've started, but as always when I see what you've done I'm now thinking, WoW!!!
Beautiful! I want one ;)
That is just beautiful - reminds me of a sunset.
