Hello,
Is the bookcase behind you from IKEA ? Would you happen to have the name of the model ? Many thanks,
mjl
MJ – yes, that shelf is from Ikea. I don’t remember the name of it, but it’s huge, and they sell it as a room divider.

Not sure what that means, Barb – but if you want your blanket to look like the photos, then, yes. Your options for changing things up are hook size, yarn weight, and color combinations.
