Ha ha! It took me more than forty days and forty nights, but... ;P It's done! I may still sew on the turtle's legs & tail; because that will bug me... But. It's done. I started it on December 23rd, 2008. Finished it on March 2, 2009. So a little over two months. Two and a half, approximately... Not too bad for me~ the person who doesn't finish things. Anyway~~ I wanted to make all the ark and animals in more 'realistic' colors. The ones they had in the pattern were ridiculous. A purple elephant, a pink giraffe. A pink turtle.... I guess maybe if you were going to make it for a girl, you could do those colors. I also would have liked to make the ocean and sky normal colors. Kinda hard cuz they'd both be blue... Oh well. I am so happy it is done. It measures 36" x 42", I believe. Good size for even when he is a toddler.

Wonderful blanket Tina! I love the animal appliques and I agree with you on the colors :)
Thank you, Mimi. :-) I also knit him a ball. He is almost five months (if not already), so he is getting to the age where he would be able to play with it.
Beautiful Job!! I LOVE IT!!
