Today I finished the Last Square of my Lizard Ridge Blanket.
It has been a long journey.
24 squares.
24 balls of Noro.
Rather a lot of money
Such pleasure.
This evening I ceremoniously ironed each square and was astonished by the transformation. Particularly once I took my fogged up glasses off.

From This:
To this:
What's more, the steam from the iron both warmed me up (it is cold here) and nicely cleared my congested nasal passages, thus adding to the ever growing evidence that knitting is good for your health.
I repeated the above process 24 times with ever greater joy at the beauty of the emerging colours.
And another revelation - the backs are as beautiful as the fronts. And I was considering backing this blanket. I am now thinking that I will make a feature of the back as well by making the seams decorative. Not sure how yet - perhaps by crocheting the squares together? Any ideas?
