- Then remembering will have to do
(thanks for the music today Ma. All I need is another excuse to cry in the middle of the day)
I finished up a big project today.
Perty idn’t she. This is the sample blanket for the crochet block of the month class I’m teaching from July – June of next year at Webs. Once I really sat down to work on it things moved along pretty quickly.
There are detail shots of the squares on my flickr page.
Its pizza night and I have a basket full of laundry to fold and I still have to go pick the Hubby up from work. Have a great weekend, chickadees!

UPDATE! 11/4/12
Since so many people contact me about this blanket, I thought I’d update this post with the details.
I used Jan Eatons 200 crochet blocks
I made 13 of the Traditional Granny blocks #18
and one each of the following squares:
#20 Colorful Bobbles
#22 St. Petersburg
#30 Shell lace
#38 Dahlia
#39 Gavin’s Stripes
#71 Star Flower
#74 Seville
#76 Granny Stripes
#95 Kingcup
#145 Chocolate Box
#161 Daisy Chain
#189 Willow
Using Valley Yarns Berkshire Bulky:
2 skeins Orange, 2 skeins Red, 3 skeins Royal, 3 skeins Gold, 3 skeins Fuschia, and 5 skeins of Lime. The blocks were all joined together as I added the last round on the granny blocks.
I LOVE THIS! The colors are right up my alley. Maybe when I’m rich I can hire you to make one for me. It’s perfect Sara! In fact, ‘m going to print it out and hang it on my inspiration wire.
gorgeous….what a way to brighten up a room. I love it!!!
I love, love, love this blanket. Wish you lived in my neck of the woods so I could take your class. That is a beauty! Brava!
This is gorgeous! I love the different patterns, and wish I had the patience to make these in all the different colours!
Hey, found you by accident. I have 2-4 crocheting homeschool kids (the boys are sometimes interested, the girls always). I’ve got to show them these pix.
I’m curious about the square with the pom-pom thingies. How do you do those?
Love the knitting chicken fabric in the Mar 26 post. So cool.

What a fun project! Colorful, accessible, and each block a challege. Your students will surely enjoy! You just keep inspiring me – I can imagine a variation of this using crochet cottons.
Have a wonderful week. Spring is coming (and daffodils in my back yard!)
You always amaze me. And it’s colorful…just like you!
This is such a beautiful blanket. Truly! I’m swooning a bit, especially over the square with the bobbles. Love.

I love it. Do you give out your patterns? I love all the different patterns and vibrant colors. GREAT JOB~
LOVE THIS!!!! Do you have a pattern for this??
Would it be possible for you to teach this on the web? I’d pay to learn how to make this beautiful blanket!
Just Beautiful. Is there a way to buy the pattern for this. Thanks
I’m about to update the post since I get this question all the time
I was very excited to find this beautiful afghan you made! It’s one of the prettiest I’ve seen. Found it on Pinterest. Thank you for the pattern & color info. I just may get brave enough to try it.
