Here she is, all grown up. Chihuahua for scale. I made a post a few weeks ago complaining about how badly my chunky blanket was working up and a lot of people seemed to have also succumbed to the Bernat extra thick blanket yarn in a similarly unsuccessful manner. I just wanted to give an update and thank the several Redditors who recommended i use BLO double crochet, ily. From the ashes of my wallet a chunky star is born. I regret nothing!
