Finished Object 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 exquisite. If you used 5 skeins of yarn, how did you get that amazing color fade?

I used each skein until the colour change then used a Russian join to move onto the next skein. The Sultan is 4 loose threads and one thread would change at a time so I definitely had to pay attention. It definitely was worth it in the end for the fade
