Continuing the Project

After I was done with the first blanket, I was still really in the mood to crochet.  So I wanted to start another blanket right away.  This time all I knew was that I wanted to try making a blanket in rounds of the granny square pattern.  For the colors, I asked my friend Dana what colors I should use.  He picked pink, blue and purple.  I added in white as well to even up the color scheme.

I really like the way that this turned out.  The colors seemed to work together wonderfully.  I am sure that this blanket will bring some happiness to someone.  I liked making this blanket because of how simple the pattern is.  Once it is started, it just keeps growing.  However, as it got larger, each side took longer to finish and I kept waiting to start the next color.  

Here is a closer up picture of the pattern.  The pink is even more vibrant in real life, so it is a bright and happy blanket.  All of the yarn is super fuzzy and soft, so it is a very cuddly blanket.  As Dana picked the colors, it will be donated in his name.

This blanket was finished on 1/26/14 and weighs 4.15 ounces.

Total yarn stash used up: 8.15 ounces
