Finished the blanket! Mine turned out slightly smaller than the pattern. Its about 16.5 inches corner to corner. I used a smaller hook though as I lost my 5.5 . Once again didnt find any issues with the pattern! It was fun and I love how its turned out so far!

Just starting row 12. This is where Ill start skipping the color changes. I should have enough orange to do the border at the end though! So far so good I havent found any issues in the pattern, and it seems to work up well. It is ruffling but I believe thats an issue on my part, and it doesnt bother me personally..

On row 7 of the blanket. It is pretty thick using two strands of yarn. Im just using red heart as its what I have on hand, Im sure with simply soft it feels much better. Ive found no real problems in the pattern so far.

Ive been a little slow lately, but the sun is done! Hopefully knock out the blanket portion pretty fast.

Working on the points now! Ill get the face sorted out during the day so I can see better with that black yarn. Pattern reads well so far! No problems simple and easy for this part.

Quick log to show Ive started. I was going to do it in yellow and pink, but unfortunately I dont have enough yellow on hand. Orange and pink it is!
