Here's my finished crocheted wool blanket. It is not made out of leftover yarn and the color is not in any way random. This is what it looks like when I carefully plot out a color scheme. It matches both of our couches and our basket of dog toys.
I don't generally show things in progress, but this is going to take forever. This is my first crochet project. The colors will transition from one end of the spectrum to the other.
