Hope you have a fabulous week!
Also, I was on facebook and a friend posted a picture of her baby on the blanket that I made. Let me tell you, that made me smile! I love knowing that the things I worked hard on are appreciated and used! :)

Progress
I have been working on this blanket for quite some time now. I'm about 70% finished and I need to finish by mid March (because I actually figured out who it is going to)... I think I can, I think I can!
Hope you have a fabulous week!

December 24: Gingham Blanket - COMPLETED
Pattern # 358: Gingham Blanket
You are probably very confused right now. I bet you are wondering why there is a baby blanket pattern posted on Christmas Eve. Well, I just really wanted to make this for a friend's kid, so I put it on the calendar for today (because it was empty) and I'm anal and don't want to switch things up! hahaha But I guess you could make this in reds and greens and call it Christmassy! I am probably stressing about Christmas Eve dinner right now, which is why I pre-posted this on Tuesday. muahahaha the powers of blogger. Wow. I think I need more sleep. Anywho, it's my first year hosting and I am very excited. I have been trying to do a lot of prep work before, but we will see how well I did!
Do yourself a favor and check out the Rav link for this project. The versions that people made are amazing!!

Updated 2/14/2011 - I finished this up over the weekend. I started it in December and worked on it slowly (with lots of other projects in between). Very happy with the finished product. I actually decreased the size by 2 rows & 2 columns, effectively cutting the amount of squares needed in half. Then I used a larger hook. Brilliant, I know. :) Very happy with the final product. I do want better pictures though. And maybe some with precious baby Alina on it. I LOVE the edging!

November 16: Baby Gingham Blanket - COMPLETED
Pattern # 320: Baby Gingham
A friend asked to make a blanket for her baby boy. While searching, I found this pattern and I love it. I could do it in blues, greens, or whites.
--------------------------------
Updated March 22, 2012: I finished this blanket about a week before the baby shower! I ended up making it for a different friend's baby boy and she LOVED it. Thank goodness. It was 241 little squares. Whew. I actually made 244 because I lost 3 in the couch. I was so confused when I was down to the last three... because I knew I had counted accurately! I found the missing squares two days later. Oh well. I used Lion Brand Pound of Love and I think a different pound of yarn in three different shades. LOVE how it turned out!
