Bird's Nest Throw Blanket

I made a blanket over a year ago for my then boyfriend. It was his Christmas present. I was going to block the blanket, but never did. It was in my possession when we broke up. I guess I'll have to gift this blanket somehow. Future blanket for a friend?

The pattern is by Lion Brand Yarns. It's called Bird's Nest Baby Throw. I just kept going and it's a bit bigger than a baby's blanket, but smaller than a full size adult blanket. I was thinking of adding some more rows to the ends to make it long enough for a twin size bed.

I've been working on this blanket on and off for the past 3 months. It's almost done - I'm currently weaving in the loose yarn ends. It's going to take forever... I'll post a picture when it's finally finished.

This pattern is from Crochet Today! magazine, Jan/Feb 2011 edition. You can also find the pattern online. It is called Snuggle Afghan.
