I spent the entire weekend teaching myself to make granny squares and making square after square as practice. Photos to come, but in the meantime, how about a little Babette inspiration?
Once again, I’m fascinated with the possibilities this blanket offers. Change the colors a bit, and it takes on a whole different personality. Here are just a few of my favorites:

I’m guessing you’ve seen these, but I am dying of laughter. http://www.knittingknonsense.com/illinoiscloth.html
I’m actually making the dog one for D. from a different part of the site, but the Michigan one is totally up next as a present for my friend!

Thank you so much for noticing my Babette. It was a great project, and these were my first granny squares. Have fun!
