However, if you use extra bulky yarn in a normal size skein - it takes about 20 to get a decent size blanket. Don't ask how I know. Lol.

I've only recently started crocheting but I'm longing to make a fun, chunky throw for our bed soon! I just need to finish the cowl that's already taken me 5 weeks...

I'm addicted to crocheting ...I'm with ya... I'm addicted to crocheting blankets too, I could make them forever, I just have to figure out "purposes" for them, we can only have so many in our living room :( I LOVE #1, I will be pinning that one for future uses. I just started this pattern (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/irish-lace-2)in red for my living room, and I'm really loving how it's turning out. It's my first pieced afghan (instead of back and forth rows). It's funny, I spent HOURS on ravelry trying to find the perfect, lacy one-color afghan to start. If I had seen #1 before, that might have been a close-contender.

I can see it being a beautiful addition to your living room, maybe in a light blue color that ties in with your rug? There's another blanket I made recently that makes me think of you because it is SUPER quick and, although it uses a thick yarn, the stitch is very loose and open. I'm actually planning to get pictures up in the next day or two. Even if it's not what you want for your living room, I can definitely see you whipping one up and posting it for sale. ;)<br /><br />By the way, love love LOVE your whole decor!

I like the texture of #4, but I'm with you about it turning out teeny tiny. Would it entirely defeat the point of the zigzags if you made #3 one solid color? Just for textures sake?
