My friend and crafter, Shweta, is having a baby boy in January. She recently moved from this part of the world to California. (Oh, how much I miss you). We both enjoy crochet, and we both love granny squares. So I made a giant granny square blanket for the baby...and I call it "For the Love of Granny" baby blanket.
Pattern: Target square from Jan Eaton's 200 Crochet Blocks for Blankets, Throws, and Afghans: Crochet Squares to Mix and Match
Yarn: Red Heart Soft Touch (Blue) and Red Heart Designer Sport (Purple)
Hook: 5mm
Size: 35 inches x 35 inches

This post made me giggle so much. Although I really am sorry about the stolen car and the flu, it was still brilliantly told!
And that blanket is great. I just got that book for myself, and I can't wait to try out your blanket concept. Lovely work.
Happy holidays, Rima!!

I went to school at UB - I remember those snowstorms!! One year when I was up there the university made headlines there was SO MUCH snow!! "UB Closed for the First Time in 16 Years!!" I wish I had saved that newspaper! Sounds like you had fun all the same :)

Nice colors on the blanket, and as always a very neat work!
Okay, you guys are pretty funny :) I may not have landed on my tush yet this winter, but I did just drive my minivan into the garage with the side door open. That thing popped off like a bottle cap, yikes! Thank goodness for insurance.
