Update:
I was looking at photos of my blanket, and I realized you can see the ends I hadn’t woven in yet, the picture is dark, and it’s a little bit blurry. So I pulled out the blanket, washed it, and had my dad take new photos for me. It’s so much brighter and easier to see now!
Since I took the time to get new photos, I decided to look at my original pattern. I decided it needed a face lift. If you downloaded this pattern on Ravelry before, you don’t have to download it again. The new version includes a cover photo, a change to the layout of the instructions, and the charts have better markings for row and column counts. The charts are also easier to read, but the pattern itself has not changed.
Back in 2013, I created this blanket entirely from scratch. It took me eight full weeks of designing each square and crocheting them one by one to complete it. It ended up getting second place overall in the Palouse County Fair that year.
I saw @Bajita mention she wants to learn ASL, and it reminded me that I never shared this blanket on Lettuce Craft.
I am hard of hearing. I took two years of ASL in high school, and then ASL 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and Deaf Culture studies in community college.
Here is a close up of the top few rows in a progress shot.
