Started making a blanket in October 24th 2023.
Just finished it.
Made using crochet with pre-looped yarn and it was my first time using that sort of yarn.
I think that *actual making* was probably 6 - 8 (?) hours, I had ten balls of yarn.
Enjoyed it a lot! Learned quite a bit about stitch directionality and also ways to deal with dropped and/ or extra loops.
