Blanket for Baby
Before Christmas, I decided to make a blanket for the baby.  I went to the craft store and found a book of different blankets.  I was going to knit it, but a friend advised that a crocheted blanket would have a better texture.  I had to buy new needles because I have no idea where the last set purchased is located.  The blanket has 4 colors: baby purple, baby green, baby yellow, and a veregated white, green, blue. 
 
I don't mind pink, but I didn't want it in the blanket.  I have crocheted 9 squares of yellow, green, and veregated.  I have 3 purple squares finished, so 6 more to go.  When those are done, I will add the edging to each square.  You can see it in the pattern's picture.
At first, I had a very tense stitch.  You can see it in the yellow.  I may end up re-doing some of those.  After the edging, I sew the squares together and then add an edge to the whole blanket.  This is all new to me because I have never actually made a product by crocheting before.  I am starting to get the hang of it, and I hope to learn more stitches.  Thanks to Pinterest, I have several ideas waiting for me.  I'll take another pic when I have the edging finished.  I should be able to start that next weekend!!!
