Current Project - "Auntie" Square Blanket

It's been just over a year since I taught myself how to crochet. It was my 2013 resolution. I've made a few small projects here and there, but really jumped in with both feet and committed to making 3 blankets, birthday presents for each of my nieces. I made their blankets in a striped pattern, all using white and bright pink, but each having two other colours - Talia's is light purple & yellow, Kiana's is cherry red & green, and Isabella's is turquoise and dark purple. When I was home this past week I gave Isabella hers. She had been anticipating it the most, and was SO excited when she opened it. The next day we cuddled in the back seat with it on the early morning drive to her and Kiana's dance competition in Victoria - precious! I will hopefully be able to get Corey to take a photo of the girls together with their blankets during our next visit. 

After finishing the last blanket I'm done with stripes for a while! So, I was in search of an idea to use up all the leftover wool, and kept coming across granny square patterns. I decided on a simple granny square using each colour as the centre, and grey (of course) on the outside. I have a ton - probably too many - of the little centre squares done, (don't they look like crocheted confetti?!) And I've got about 50 finished squares ready to be sewn together. Not sure yet if I'm going to make a pattern with the colours, or just random, like in the photo. I'm really enjoying making the squares, they come together quickly and there's a little sense of accomplishment every time I finish one. Weaving the ends of the yarn isn't even driving me crazy yet, and I'm learning to embrace the imperfections!

What is everyone else working on?
