It's done. It's not perfect, but that's ok, I learned as I went along and the next project will benefit from that.
Still have to hide the ends on the back, but that can wait for another day.
I'm so happy with how this turned out!

I like it more than. I thought I would. This turned into a bigger blanket than I planned, and it became a bit of a healing journey.

I levelled up my granny square skills.
Using the leftovers of this yarn for practice. It was suggested I use these squares for the centre and corners of my throw, by my sister who's been my best cheerleader.
My first attempt was not this pretty. I switched needle sizes for this one. I love it. 🧶

Started the hat and walked to the store today to pick up more of this colour yarn because I now want a scarf as well, and may remake the mitten I messed up.

Almost done the first one. I'll finish the cuff tomorrow.
It even fits. Had to put an extra row in.
Shoutout to the creator, great easy to follow tutorial. Info course chose not to do the colour change ups, because I don't have a lot of choices for yarn at the moment.
