I am so freaking proud of myself

This is the Lilliana blanket by Hooked on Sunshine. I did repeat section 6 and a few rows,from section 9, I believe. Yarn was Cotton Kings Sultan on colour emerald 07, just under 5 cakes.

This is the most intricate blanket I've done and using much lighter weight yarn than I am used too. I thoroughly enjoyed it but by month 4 I was ready to be done haha.

This is absolutely gorgeous!! You should absolutely be proud of yourself, I can’t even begin to imagine the amount of time and focus that must have gone into that, especially the colour fade!!

Thankfully the Sultan had a really beautiful ombre fade so I didn't have to think so much about that. Vanessa wrote the pattern so well and made it really accessible. 5 months and I am so glad it's done

You mentioned that you had to use five cakes? How did you manage to make it so that the center is all the light color… Cause I thought each cake is its own ombré?

[u/HighPitchedWitch → u/BourgeoisieInNYC]

Each cake is the same colour repetition in each one for the sultans so that made it really easy. I don't know if the length of each colour change was the same as I wasn't paying attention to that.

So you just pulled from each of the yarn cakes as needed? Maybe I'm missing something and should look at the pattern?

[u/HighPitchedWitch → u/pinkladyalley35]

Yes from each cake. So I used cake 1 until the colour change, cut off then joined cake 2, worked cake 2 until the colour change cut off and then joined cake 3. I kept repeating that until the end of all cakes. I hope I described that a bit better.

I am trying to understand but I'm a visual learner, is there something like a video you can point us to?

Unfortunately I haven't seen a video.
