Baby blanket

My aunt Debbie Grillo taught me to crochet about three years ago, right before we left for Africa. Since then, I have crocheted mostly scarves, baskets, and dishcloths, but I was really just looking for an excuse to take on a bigger project when I found out Kimmie was pregnant. The baby blanket I made is about 1m square and it's made of soft machine-washable cotton. The old Afrikaaner lady working in the yarn store was NOT happy I bought cream colored yarn for a baby blanket. She kept looking at me in dismay and suggesting more colorful options, like lavender/turquoise variegated yarn with sparkles. Ugh. I really like the way it turned out. The pattern is available here. I hope little Franklin likes it. (That's the latest name Jed picked out for him, we're trying it out.)
