so my sister decided to give me lots of different coloured cotton wools... and i decided that i really need a big blanket made from those! i didn't think this through too well i guess...


november 13th, 2009: i got started today. so far, so good but my hands hurt!



november 14th, 2009: new squares, new pics! hands still hurting, i think i have to slow down a bit.



november 15th, 2009: hmm... when i put them together like this, it starts to look like a (small) blanket already...



november 24th, 2009: steady progress, at least i haven't given up yet... though i will need at the very least 300 of these babies.. argh.



november 27th, 2009: more photos... there are 26 squares so far. i realised i will need a looot more black to finish this off.



here's an overview sorted by colours.. prettyyyyy :)



these are the finished squares next to the colours i haven't used yet.. i think that will be enough.... =))

december 7th, 20009: a first glimpse of what the finished blanket one day might look like... it'll be lovely!

december 23rd, 2009: after the last picture was taken I realised I won't have enough of some colours to continue like I had planned sooo unfortunately I had to take it apart again...
also i ran out of black so that might be a problem soon unless santa brings me some more for christmas. =)

december 26th, 2009: santa was nice! i have black cotton again! and since i have all i need now, i started to sew my squares together again.
from now on it's progress. and i'm on holidays! i might actually get somewhere with this now. :)



and a little while later...



december 27th, 2009: starts to look quite nice now already... and it's less than 3% done!
