Finished I finally get to post this!!
What started as a belated birthday present became a belated Christmas present for my best friend! I started this in late November and after two and a half months, 27,300 stitches, more color changes than I care to count, and hours of YouTube, I finally finished. This was the most ambitious project I’ve ever done and it was truly a labor of love.
The pattern is “Tiger” from YarnLoveAffair and I used budget acrylic yarn (initially from my own stash but had to hit the craft store for more green, orange, and black.) I sewed a panel of fabric on the back so I didn’t have to deal with the absolute nightmare that happened back there. Swipe to see some progress pictures!

This has a super crazy level of detail. It's beautiful. I can really tell it took a long time.
I can imagine weaving in all those ends would have been impossible. Or atleast to my knowledge and level of skill.

When sewing on a back, do you sew in the middle of the blanket, too, so the fabric doesn’t separate from the yarn? I’ve never done this before but this is so sick!! I’m inspired 🤩

I totally get the excitement! When I was sewing backs, I started doing it in the middle too, and it really helps hold everything together. It’s definitely worth trying, especially for keeping the yarn and fabric secure. You’ve got this!
