posting early. this is a blanket made for a friend's baby boy. i love granny squares, the colour, design, and fabulous way they all have a unique effect both by themselves and as a group put together, but i despise the ends that have to be woven back in. i would love to ask a professional's advice about this. i did an expert job on desmond's (top pic) but within weeks of use they started popping up here and there...
SOUP OF THE WEEK: Gabi's Corn Chowder and a Cream of Onion that I added mushrooms to, then added a ton more to the leftovers, plus some flour and Smoked Gouda to make a great pasta sauce (that the twins still didn't eat.) Hey, if you can't please everyone all the time, at least you can please your husband. With homemade soup.
Someone have a baby--quick! I love granny squares.

a fabulous book they happen to have at the library. i should have copied all the ones i wanted to save...might as well buy the book though, eye candy!!
