Pink and blue

I liked the baby blanket I made recently so much, I decided to make another. Pink and blue look lovely together, just right for a little girl,  and I just happened to have some perfect wool for the job. So, it's based on the same idea but with slightly different patterns and textures for the squares. It's still a WIP, but I thought I'd show how it's looking so far.

All the patterns are in the Jan Eaton book, 200 Crochet Blocks for Afghans and Blankets. I find this book really helpful when making these blankets, there's such a mix of styles and textures in all the blocks featured, truly something for everyone.

A few close-ups of some of the patterns; this is a tulip design.

This one is a band of bobbles topped with a double crochet section

This design is called Lemon Peel; after I'd finished I could see why

Since I started this post, I've managed to sew the squares together; this is how the blanket is looking today (Sunday)

So it will get a pretty edging as soon as poss, and I'll let you see the FO in a few days.

Looking very good indeed, the colours are stunning. I wonder what colour the edge is going to be.
