OK, even though this post is late (meaning, not on Saturday) the pictures were actually taken on Saturday. So, look at the photo ... yes, you see that right ... I'm all done with the flowers and connectors! Yay!!!!
I stuck my foot in the photo for scale. It's about 25" by 30". The blanket, not my foot. It's BIG. And heavy. There's a lot of yarn in this so far.
I've even started weaving in the ends! I know ... I've railed against weaving in ends on here a ton, and I'm totally against it. But the beauty of making a handbag that will be lined is that I can weave them in and they can look crapass on the inside because no one will ever see it. When you weave in ends on a blanket or somesuch, you have to do a good job because you could potentially see either side of the blanket. The photo above is the front of a flower center and the photo below is the back of it with the weaved-in ends.
I wish I had the willpower to weave in all the ends before I move to the next step (the handles!!!), but (ahem ... ) something tells me I won't be able to wait.
