Anja, watching your IKEA blanket video. Look book was very entertaining and educational. It showed people multiple ways the blanket can blend into a persons home or office decor, and was an excellent idea! This video gave me the extra inspiration I needed to use this stitch pattern again, and I have been enjoying “stash busting “using the V stitch as well as corner to corner patterns and moving on now to new patterns to enjoy quality crochet time! Have a fantastic day, everyone! I’ll post pics once the unique and close the border that I select to put on my design is complete😀🇨🇦🌷
