Last Stiches

This blanket was on the needles for over a year. It's been a pleasure to watch it come to life but it was time to stop the stripes and start the border. This is my first time doing an "applied I-cord" border and I love the way it looks more finished. This chocolate colored border around my kaleidoscope of color seems like the perfect combination.

It was hard to cast off after all these months with the project beside my chair. I used more yarn than on any other project and it's big enough for curling up on the couch so it was time. There should be a finished project in a week or two!
