Nearly there!!

My Marguerite Blanket is almost finished!! I'm working on the border now - it takes almost a full hour to work one row, and each 50g ball will only make about 1.25 rows!!

I'm still working on it but there's a separate page of how I worked my join if you care to look. (Pattern belongs to Sandra Eng of Mobuis Girl, not me!!)

Marguerite Blanket progress

Remember those gorgeous flower circles I showed you last time?
They were made from the amazing pattern by Sandra Eng of Mobius Girl 

If you've been following my progress on instagram and her fb group, you will know I had all the motifs made and joined with a granny stitch, and had nearly filled in all the triangular spaces.
Well, not only are they finished - with ends stitched in too! - I have also filled in all the fiddly half triangle spaces! I drew some hieroglyphics of that little filler but I don't know anyone else will understand it!

So it's now in one big blankety piece!! No pics yet though I'm afraid.

I'm considering giving it a quick wash and block before I tackle the border.  I also need to try and get some more yarn for the border - the granny join and all those triangles have used 300g already! I managed to get another 100g from my LYS but I know that won't be enough.

I have also been busy writing a separate page dedicated to my version of the blanket and will be showing how I did that granny join, the triangles, the half triangles and the border. (See the separate tab at the top of the screen, or click the link.)

Take a look at the top of the page for the link. And in case you're wondering,  yes, I do have permission from Sandra the designer to share my method.  I will NOT be sharing any part of the paid pattern - you will need to purchase your own copy HERE. It's worth every penny!!

I'll leave you with what turned out to be a very popular pic on  both IG and fb -
