This blanket is so gorgeous and it combinestwo of my favorite things, crochet and patchwork. I am FINALLY a semi-pro at making granny squares. If you have read my blog for awhile you know that granny squares and I have a love / hate relationship :)
We also know that I need another blanket like I need a hole in the head.
(examples: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten and those are only the ones that I have personally made!) The collection of blankets is pretty ridiculous but one day soon there will be plenty of fort-making days with the little one and they will be needed.
So yeah, I decided that making this blanket would be a must. I love BIG projects so much.
After a trip to JoAnn's I came home and started my granny squares immediately.
Those are the colors...I am so excited.
I also picked up a baby blanket Cross-stitch kit. I haven't ever tried my hand at cross-stitch really but my mom had made me one while she was pregnant with me and I decided that Amelia would need one too.
The pattern is definitely not my style but it's cute and it's classic and it was the cutest of all of the kits they had so...that's that.
Here is what I have so far.

So far, I am really enjoying cross-stitching! It is so relaxing and peaceful and it looks really pretty.
It's going to be a very productive couple of weeks!!
