WIPS Wednesday (On Friday)

March 14, 2015

It’s Friday – oops! I am a little late. But I wanted to share these cute Solid Granny Squares for my two newest baby blankets! I am using one of my favorite yarns – I Love This Cotton – since it is 100% cotton and soft!

I started with this blanket. 
When I went yarn shopping with my boyfriend, Chad, last week, we brainstormed how the blanket would look with the colors I was getting. He’s the greatest for playing along – hehe!
It was decided that I’d do the blanket in two colors with the variegated color (Fantasy) as one of them. I then picked the Bright Teal as my other color with the Hot Orchid to join, so in turn the pink was really the focal of this blanket.
I made my squares 5.5″ since I was only working with two colors.

As I was working up these squares, I thought that leaving off one round would make cuter squares for a baby blanket so…
On my second blanket, I went with 3.75″ squares. 
Same pattern, minus a round.
Originally, I was also going to be working up this blanket in two colors (the Denims and Dark Denims colors), but I decided against it when I decided to go with the smaller squares so back to Hobby Lobby I went for the Pale Denims color. This blanket will be joined by Dove, a light gray color.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

      30" Square for each is the goal. Not sure why, but that measurement has been stuck in my head since I started making baby blankets.

Welcome!

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
