Cuddle me up....

Photography by Harry S. CahillIt's about that time of year again! Last year, crica June, I absolutely gushed over the idea of creating a candy-colored chevron inspired crochet blanket, namely for my bed in order to ditch the down comforter in the wake of warmer climes, and simply because it had been awhile since I'd actually made a blanket.This was the first one that I've ever gifted to myself and it's sat on the back of my couch all winter as a comforting (heeeh) reminder of summer skies and warmth even in the depths of winter. It's the perfect snuggle buddy, albeit absolutely gigantic. On more than one occasion, I've actually gotten lost in this puppy.This chevron blanket has inpired a bunch of offspring (which I'll be sure to post soon), including alterations involving thicker stripes of color, less colorways, and more muted tones. But none of them have pleased me like this chevron cuddler, and in honor of it and its impending relocation from couch to bed, I bring it to the Kraftworkin' Kitsch readers.While a lot of my friends have seen it laying about my home, the blogosphere at large has not been privy to its loveliness. Shame on me for waiting this long...That being said, I'd like to make another bright blanket this Spring. I'm currently taking suggestions on patterns--but note, I'd like it to be crochet, as I love the "Holly Hobby" nature it brings to an afghan. So start suggesting, will you?You can check out even more shots of this blanket at my Flickr Set.
