Where did the weekend go? How is it already Monday and back to work time! 😅

Happy Sunday, hope you all have a lovely day!

This beauty just missed getting finished for my usual Friday post but it’s finished and already off to a new home now, so thought it needed to be shared this week! I’ve absolutely loved making this blanket, I really enjoyed trying a new stitch technique. I think it’s a great blanket pattern for stash busting and my next version will definitely be a stash buster make! 😍

I hope you all have a lovely weekend whatever your plans. You’ll find me adding some more rows onto my latest WIP, this design was one of the first blanket patterns I ever followed. I absolutely adore the design, not sure why I haven’t made one in so long! 🐘

I received a pretty big yarn order yesterday, which will definitely mean there are more filet crochet patterns from my past coming back soon! Faaryn | Crochet Pattern Designer designs are so simple and easy to follow, great for beginners!
