Forgot about this, it's my dad's 70th birthday present. a cotton acrylic blanket in Armstrong Tartan. The chart came from the Australian Women's Weekly Book of "Easy Crochet Tartan Rugs". Yeah, ok, easy. But he didn't get it until 2 months *after* his birthday it took so damn long to make"!

That's most excellent - and certainly doesn't look 'easy' to me!

thank you! i do really like it, but not enough to ever do another full sized one! it's a combination of crochet mesh and weaving, so it's really thick and sturdy. if it was made of hedavier yarn it could be used as a rug. if my dad walks on it i'll kill him though!

i'm working on details of tartans in wire now.
