A few months ago, Ri and I visited Pottery Barn and I saw this beautiful chunky cable throw with matching pillows and decided I need to make a cable blanket that goes on my bed, too. I admit, this is probably the most expensive project purely because I need enough yarns to cover my whole bed so I ordered 28 skeins (yeah, went a little crazy on this one). I worked on this so many weeks on and off, the needles are 25mm so they work up really fast, but to cover the King size bed it still needs quite a long time. I LOVE CABLE. Just saying. Finished putting all the different parts together last night, and Ri really likes it! :)
