Squares on the Roll

So excited!   A friend of mine is having a baby and has requested a blanket. I asked what she had in mind as I had already started picturing bright bold rainbow colours (she is NO pastel kinda lady).  She gave me a few ideas and I was quite happy to give it a shot.  Then!  She mentioned Dr. Seuss inspired and a whole new world of ideas flooded into my mind

I came across Squares on the Roll and just had to send her the picture to see how crazy she was willing to go. She fell in love with it as soon as she saw it and really really wants it. So, I looked up the yarn and just about fell off my chair. BUT, I let her know how much it was and she wants it that bad so now I wait for the mailman to bring the precious yarn so I can get started.


Thankfully, baby isn't due until June but with all the work that goes into each square and reading how it is put together at the end, this blanket is going to take quite a bit of time to do. I will need to put my other projects aside (when the yarn arrives of course!) and take this blanket on full time.

I'm very excited about trying it out though!!  Always up for a challenge.

Oh!  And the Haruni shawl is well underway. I've started onto Chart B and fingers crossed I can get it finished before starting the blanket.
