Blanket



So I've never made a blanket yet. Always wanted to but it's such a commitment. It takes time and lots of skeins and you have to pick the right colors.......
Such a commitment!
So I've been starting to get my thinking towards summer (since winter won't let go in Minnesota!) and it made me think of our county fair. Last couple years I would walk through the open class section and see all the art, flowers, baked good and saw that they had crochet and knitting. How great would it feel to win some awards on my crocheting! It would mean so much to be admired by others from my craft. 
Anyways I want to add many items but one was a blanket and since my attention span can be very low, I better start now so I can take breaks and have time.

So here's my blanket!

Boy was I surprised how long it took me to choose the colors that worked well together. Wanted it to be colorful and an eye grabber. I worked with what I had and came up with this combo.

It's really coming along faster than I thought. I love this pattern. Looks so good with the Caron simply soft yarn. 
Want to try with red heart super saver but not sure if it will look as soft.


Not halfway there yet but slow and steady......
Hope it will be a winner at the fair!
