So when I started this blanket, I asked what colors Paris liked, and was told that she liked the color pink. I didn't want to make a plain pink blanket, so I went to the store looking for a varigated yarn that had a nice pink in it. After I found the varigated, the pink was obvious, because I had to get a pink that matched. The green, however, was very hard to match, and it actually isn't the same color of green as in the varigated, but it's in the same family, and it was the closest I could find, so we'll all have to live with it!
I chose to make this blanket using the "BABY" pattern I created for my baby nephew because I really liked the heart square pattern. It is my favorite square to make, although I think I am ready to put it away for awhile and learn something new!
For this blanket, I tried out a new border that I found in a pattern book. I really like how the ruffle turned out. I think it's really girly, and I hope Paris likes it!
Ok, so that's the new blanket! I think it turned out great. On to the next one! :-)

As Always, I think you did a WONDERFUL job with the blanket. I really like the border, you need to teach me how to do it. The heart pattern is also my favorite.
Let me know when you're ready, and I'd be happy to teach you...it's a very simple border, though. It would only take you 5 minutes to learn. :-)
What a beautiful blanket. Sorry I've been out of the commenting loop for so long.
My sister mentioned that you got a part-time job. Any chance you'll be blogging about it for us curious folks?
