the latest project--finally finished

[MissMillie]

I'm not sure the pictures give you a good idea of the colors, it's black, white, green and the black-gray-white-cammo.

I took the pictures at the laundromat right after it came out of the dryer. It is now wrapped and ready to deliver to my boss for his birthday.

Full blanket

1. Looks fantastic, MM.

I'm kinda jealous of your boss.

[MissMillie]

5. be really nice to me and I'll

put you on the blanket list for Christmas.

7. Have I ever told you that you have the prettiest eyes and smile?

[DS1]

2. Holy Crap

You'd better be getting first class treatment from now on, that looks amazing

[MissMillie]

4. This guy has always treated me very well

One of my other guys is a bit of a jerk, but I've been w/ Mike for 13 years now, and I just love him... hence the blanket.

3. Cool!

Very unusual design but it pulls off that military look perfectly, with the combo of the colors and the chevron pattern.

[MissMillie]

6. I think he's going to use it on his boat (read: yacht)

when I asked him about color, he said his boat was green and black.

8. Wow - that is really amazing

Good for you!

[MissMillie]

19. thanks

the boss is due into the office in about an hour.

I can't wait for him to open it.

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Wow. That is gorgeous, MM! I wish I could do that.

That is crochet, right? I would love to be able to make something like that. Awesome work, my friend. :thumbsup:

[MissMillie]

20. well, I'm sure you can

but I also know you're an incredible busy person, so I can imagine that you don't have a lot of down-time for something like this.

I think I have too much down-time. But if it gets me to do stuff like this for people I love... I'm okay with that.

[MissMillie]

10. bump for the morning crowd

and because you all haven't sufficients oooh'ed and aaaah'ed over my handiwork...

11. Very cool! How many hours does it take you to make a blanket like that?

[MissMillie]

12. I estimate that I have about 50 hours into that.

Not all at once, of course.

[Redbear]

13. Beautiful.

Both you and the blanket.

[MissMillie]

16. thanks

wow... I just wanted you all to like the blanket.

But you like me... you really like me!

[redqueen]

14. Gorgeous...

*jellis*

And it's making me yearn for cooler weather... mmm cozy. :)

[MissMillie]

17. I've got at least 2 more that I have to make for Christmas.

one for my mom


And one for a DUer who came up to visit last month....

[VenusRising]

15. That's very nice!

I haven't gotten brave enough to do the zigzag pattern. I want to try, but I'm chicken. :P I'm more of a varigated yarn in a big rectangle kind og crocheter. You did awesome, though!

:applause:

[MissMillie]

18. that particular zig-zag is easier than you can imagine

you skip one st, dc in each of the next 3 st, then go back and dc in the skipped stitch.

[VenusRising]

21. Hmm.

Maybe I'll practice that on an odd skein.

Thanks. I may PM you if I get stuck. :hi:

[Flaxbee]

22. beautiful work, MissMillie...

has Mike opened it yet? :hi:

[MissMillie]

23. He did about an hour ago--He LOVES it!

a bit in awe over how big it is (it's about 7' long), but he says it's "perfect"
