Today’s Finish Friday is brought to you by this plaid shirt, hahaha!
Cher got this shirt from Cabela’s a while back and I was instantly very jealous, hahaha! I couldn’t put my finger on why, but I LOVED it. Turns out it was half price, and I drove in to Saskatoon the very next day to buy it for myself. Its kind of fallish, but it also isn’t just fallish. It works for anytime. I love the colors so much.
So as I sat and worked on my crochet projects, this shirt just sat in my closet, staring at me. And I do mean it stared at me, because from my side of the bed, I can see into our walk-in closet, and that sucker is right there. Looking at me. Still. Anyway.
I couldn’t shake it. So I had to make it.
Ta-da!!!!

For the details…
This blanket is pretty square. Its about 5’x5′, with twisted tassels. Its beefy and will be really warm. Maybe not one an adult could wrap around their shoulders, but a good one to sit with on the couch. Also would be a goooood cozy choice for a kid! This one in particular is tied nice and tight, so while there is still stretch and comfort, there are fewer holes and snags.
To me, this blanket is a testament towards unlikely colors going SO beautiful together!! I owned this purple yarn already, but it just sat. It was a more reddish purple than I usually gravitate towards, so I hadn’t reached for it. Navy I always have, because we need some good dark colors that aren’t always black. And that orange. Never would I have bought that orange. I have loved orange in my life, and there is still a place for it. This orange, however, it a little weird and dark. But not like that nice deep dark spicy orange. Its just – weird orange. The label claimed its carrot orange, but I call foul. Definitely 🙅♀️ not 🙅♀️ carrot 🙅♀️ Who would’ve thought these weird colours would go so beautifully together?? Not I! But I am so grateful I had the chance to prove myself wrong.
Sometimes we’re just inexplicably drawn to something. And I am not mad at it!
Happy Friday, friends! 💜
