Steelers Blanket

This is the pattern that I made on my spreadsheet program to help me create this blanket for my husband. I really like the look of the tunisian stitch, but I really hate connecting panels, so I prefer cropoint when I want to make something bigger.

This is the blanket shortly after I began. You can just see the facemask starting to take shape. The blanket is laid out on my king-sized bed, by the way. It is a pain in the buns to carry all of those balls of yarn, but it is worth it in the end.

 

 Slightly further along in the process. This was a couple of weeks later.

It really irritates me that I wasn't paying attention to the way I put the blanket on the bed, but after laying out all of those balls neatly, I wasn't flipping the blanket over.

 Ignore the messy dresser and focus on the progress of the blanket. At this point I was working feverishly, trying to get it done in time for our wedding. One of my friends opened her big mouth, so he found out I was working on it. It ruined the surprise, but made it easier to get it done in time.

 

 Presenting...the finished product. It is huge and warm and I will never make another one, so he better enjoy it. I would probably be willing to make just the logo, but the helmet created too many balls of yarn hanging off the back.
