[Baby Knits for Beginners]

I wanted to make a very special blanket for a friend's new baby (she'd been trying to have one for years!) so I turned to Debbie Bliss, of course!  I love her designs and yarn!  I picked the garter squares blanket from Baby Knits for Beginners

I used 7 colors, instead of the 5 called for in the pattern, because I wanted a very colorful blanket.

Here's my cat Loki helping me piece all the little squares together -



And here's the finished product -



Not a difficult project at all (except for all the weaving) and fun for both beginners and intermediate folks, I think.  Let me know what you think!
