My gf Jillian bought her first home so I made her this blanket as a house warming gift. She loves purple which I paired with the grey, white and black, and used both Red Heart traditional yarn and some new super soft yarn I discovered. I also mixed matter with shiny. I adore this as did Jillian. An added bonus is that her cats will get along when they’re on it when she’s using it so I’ve called it The Switzerland Blanket because it’s neutral territory at her house.
