blanket update

So I haven't worked on my crochet chevron blanket in awhile, unfortunately. Its been a few months. I was head over heals excited with this project back in February when I started it. But, as I've mentioned before, I have a bad case of creative ADHD. I can't help it, I go from one project to the next.

This is what it looked like last time.

 And this is what it looks like now.

I'm just over half way done.

Once the weather starts getting colder I'll be more inspired to work on it.

I dream of chevron

Don't you love the chevron pattern? It's simple, bold, classic.

{ 1 } - { 2 } - { 3 } - { 4 } - { 5 } - { 6 } - { 7 } - { 8 }

This pattern has recently inspired tons of projects that I want to make. At this point it's a challenge to design something that isn't zigzag. The first project that I couldn't wait to start is a crochet chevron blanket.

When starting a new project google is always the first place I go. Naturally. I began by looking at all the different crochet chevron blankets out there -trust, theres a ton- so I could get an idea of where to start. I knew it would be black and tan... because I already had a ton of black and tan yarn. It was just a happy coincidence that the two colors go lovely together.

I decided to create my own pattern. I chose to do it in single crochet and a small hook to create a very defined pattern and a dense piece of fabric. Plus I wanted the points of the chevron to be... well, pointy.

I'm falling more and more in love with this blanket with every stitch.
