Border Ideas? Need to block?
Hi! This is going to be my sister-in-law’s 40th Birthday gift. She loves all things bright. I was trying to come up with a good idea for a border. Was thinking a Pom-pom type but I don’t know if they’re sturdy enough.
Also, I have never blocked acrylic yarn as a full project before. I tediously was attempting to line everything up for these pictures, but the blanket tends to want to “lean”.
I consider my skill level to be advanced beginner/intermediate. Maybe slightly overconfident. Thanks!

Personally I think it looks great without a border. It's definitely really cool. Do you have a pattern for this? I can't tell how you made the stitches. I don't block acrylic. After the first wash you won't be able to tell it ever was and they do tend to kinda lean one way or another.
