First ever knitting project, finally finished!
So about six months ago I started my first knitting project ever, my blanket. I just finished it last week and I'm so excited, I've been sleeping with it ever since. Yeah, it has holes and it isn't fit to give away to anyone but I love it

It's about eight feet long and four and a half feet wide.

its a LOVELY blanket

Way to go! That's a great blanket--you did an excellent job! And regarding the holes, those AREN'T holes, those are

"design elements."
