Crochet Baby Blanket #3

3 down, 1 to go. The next one is much easier to do. I swear! I thought this one would be fairly easy, and not as time consuming as the blackberry salad blankets I made for my sister and friend. WRONG!! This blanket took me 3-4 times as long to finish as my yellow and grey blanket. Terrible. Completely time consuming. Its beautiful though. And little baby Norah is only 3 months old now, so maybe its about time she gets her blanket. I believe this will be the last blanket I do that involves squares that need to be put together.

I found the design on pinterest, shocking I know. It took a couple minutes but I finally found a tutorial on her blog to show me how to make this amazing blanket. So away I went. I chose my colours and started on the medallions. After a couple were made I realized how easy time consuming this blanket actually was. The worst part was once all 90 squares were completed, I had no idea how to join them all together. The tutorial didn't tell me how to join, so I scoured the internet for DAYS trying to find a way that I liked. Finally I settled on a way that would create a raised border between each. Instead of doing a single crochet to join them together I decided to slip stitch the entire thing, which created a smaller raised border. Not my favourite, I like a flat blanket, but my patience time was running out so it was what I did. I like the pictures better than the actual blanket. I will never make this again. No matter who asks. Well, there are a few people that may be able to convince me. Stupid sisters.
