Stomach flu and unexpected snow = days and days and days inside. It's like january all over again! I needed a lift, perhaps something of the colorful variety.
I think I mentioned after I finished the granny square sampler, that I was going to try my hand at the Babette blanket from Interweave Crochet Spring 2006. Above are the yarns I picked out. I have it in my head that this is going to be a wall hanging for our bedroom rather than a throw per se...so I felt okay about blowing the budget on some really nice stuff. Feels good, great colors.
What with the little man having the stomach flu, we have had a lot of down time, so I have gotten a lot of squares done in a relatively short time:
I think I am gonna like this one.
