Winter Blanket Coziness

Well, the holidays have come and gone and it's a brand new year, so that means brand new projects.  I'm in the middle of perfecting how I want to construct a big cozy blanket.  Yep, it's a pretty big project to take on, but I figure I've got some time now and I've wanted to make one for a while.

I found this great cable pattern and thought I'd just make it much, much bigger so it was more the size of a blanket.  This is a photo of what I had made just about a week ago, but I think I'm actually going to undo it and re-create it with slightly larger needles.  Right now it feels a little too dense.

 

Anyone have any cool new projects they're working on?  Happy 2015, all!
