I started Winter Wonderland in November of 2021...lets see that was 19 months ago.
I can finally cross it off my list! I put it upstairs to give away someday. Not sure who will get it...I will know when the time is right.
I used a 4 mm hook for the blanket and a 3.5 mm hook for the envelope border. I used Stylecraft DK yarn in many different colors for the Winter Wonderland CAL.
Then I attacked these balls of Bernat yarn that I got at a rummage sale...for $2 it was too good of a deal to pass up.
I finished it in a couple of evenings. I washed the blanket and sent it off to be used before I took a photo.
It turned out great! I like Bernat yarn for kids blankets as it is so soft and cuddly. It also can be thrown in the washer and dryer!

Winter Wonderland is so beautiful. The second one is probably soft and snuggly based on that yarn. Possibly for a new baby in the family?
Winter Wonderland turned out beautifully. It's gorgeous. Whoever gets it will cherish it. I agree about the bernat. I made Piper a blanket of that when she was a baby and she loved cuddling with it.

That is beyond gorgeous! It should be given to a very, very special recipient. That could not have a price put on it because of your hours of love but if it did and you were to sell it at a speciality shop or an auction for a fund-raiser, you should easily get a very good monetary return on it.
Sara, Yes it went to Great Auntie Jen's house for the new baby when she visits:)
Winter Wonderland looks like it should be hung on a wall as art!
The other one would be extra cuddly. I figured it was for the new addition to the family. :)
Wow! You are so talented!
Winter wonderland is absolutely amazing! Whoever gets it is very lucky!
Winter Wonderland is impressive, so detailed!
Oh my, the Winter Wonderland blanket is absolutely gorgeous. The recipient, whoever it might be will be so blessed.
I do enjoy using the Bernat yarn for baby blankets too. It comes in so many colours and works up so quickly.
Very pretty, Connie. I'll bet the baby blanket turned out just as wonderful!
You've got talent! I cannot even imagine making something so beautiful.
I wish some place in my town carried that yarn. I bet Ree got that blanket.
Oh,I forgot to say, Winter Wonderland is a work of art.
That winter wonderland blanket is way too cute to give away. After all the work you put into it, I'd keep it!
The Winter Wonderland blanket is stunning What a lot of work, but what good results. Whoever gets t will be blessed!
Winter Wonderland is beautiful! So much work, but it turned out great. I wonder what you'll have on your 'to crochet' next?
I love the Winter Wonderland project!
The wonderland deserves to be in an Crafts Art Museum among great works of art of great accomplishments. It would be a great wall hanging on one of my walls for sure.
I just love your Winter Wonderland blanket.....somebody will be very lucky to receive that one someday. Also would love to see what you did with the Bernat yarn in such lovely colors. You and far guy are definitely Mr. and Mrs. Talent!
It was so fun to watch each new feature of Winter Wonderland. It really is such a wonderful project. Thank you for sharing it with us! It is a masterpiece.
Congratulations on finally finishing the Winter Wonderland blanket. Whoever ends up getting it will consider themselves very lucky, I'm sure.
I also love seeing how the Winter Wonderland project turned out. It's so complex and amazing! :-)
I love your Winter Wonderland and you have such great color sense. Love the new yarns too. I can't wait to see the new blanket. I keep wanting to go back to it but I have to concentrate and right now I have too many irons in the fire.
Those ants sound really awful! I had army worms last year but my bug guy took care of them.
