Welcome to my July installment of Jo's long running Gifted Gorgeousness SAL, THE place to talk about all things gifted and to be gifted. I'm a little late to check in this month, and that's all thanks to one project - the Snuggle Up blanket which was my big birthday gift in 2022 (the yarn, that is, the crochet is my own work!) and after almost exactly 16 months, I have finished! I was aiming to finish one part (it was released as a 12 part CAL) per month, but the latter parts just took a lot longer, so I slowed down. But now it's finally done, and I present to you in all it's glory:
Snuggle Up - by Morben Design
Used: 5328m of Hobbi Twister 05 + matching solids
Time: 173:40h over 16 months
I turned out pretty big, but also really warm and cuddly! Here's a picture of my wrapped up in it for scale:
It was a massive undertaking, but I did enjoy every minute of it (maybe with the exception of that row of popcorn stitches...those were a little annoying, but also turned out really pretty!). Now hopefully, I can finish up a couple of smaller WIPs before starting my next big project...which I am already excited about so it probably won't be long!

It is very pretty, what a lovely gift yarn is.
Better late then never.

That is one big, beautiful blanket Leonore! So glad to see it finished and I know you'll enjoy snuggling up in it when the cooler weather comes along this winter. Enjoy your day ♥
Thanks for taking part in GG this month with your gorgeous Snuggle Up! The colours look fabulous.
Here’s a question - have you ever done Mosaic Crochet? A friend of mine is a crochet designer who specialises in this skill and has just done a mystery box which I gifted to another friend!
That looks great, I love those colours!
