a loong, loong time ago, i started a granny square blanket.  and no, i still haven't finished it.  instead, in my typical fashion, i started a new crochet project before finishing an old one!  but this one i'm determined to finish!  i have 19 weeks before my baby is due.  last week, when i found out i'm having a boy, i started thinking of all the things i want to make.  i definitely want to make him a blanket, which might be weird for an arizona baby born in june, right?  so it's not to keep him warm, but for him to lay on and look cute.  when i was visiting my parents awhile back, i took all my mom's old crochet books, including this one.


i am working on the blanket on the left, but a modified version.  i'm not big on pastel anything so i'm making it navy and white, and am thinking about orange edging?  i'm also making it a lot smaller than this one, which will maybe mean i will actually finish it...  i've got two squares done, 18 more to go!

  1. congrats on the boy! i have a granny square afghan i've been working on sporadically for a few years. i'm making it bed-sized, though, so i think it'll be even longer. love the navy/white combo.
