It’s hard to believe that our project is coming to a close! This will be the final portion of the Stress Free Temperature Blanket provided by Teagan and Lu. I’ve decided to leave you to make some final decisions for the December stripe (either feel empowered to design your own, or repeat a favorite one we have stitched). Personally, I’m going to use my high and low colors for December to create a Moss Stitch border around my blanket to fulfill my December colors.  Check out my reflections on this project and a review of I Love this Yarn HERE (Coming Soon), as my final piece of work on this year long adventure. Thank you for stitching along with this project and I hope you absolutely love your blanket!
