advent blanket
Hi all:
Having become obsessed with squares and blankets (thanks, Kay!... I think, anyway! hee hee), I have decided to make an Advent Blanket using some old Paton's Decor I had lying around - 20 balls of different colours. The idea is: one square per day until it's done, hopefully before 6 January (this in addition to finishing up the Nina blanket for my mother... 'tis the season!)
I am trying to do each square (10x10) in a different stitch pattern (see below):
Diagonal Garter Rib:
Chequerboard:
Reverse Parallelogram:
Shooting for 20 squares (4 x 5) which should make a mighty big blankie! Today's square is seed stitch in powder blue. Thanks again to those who helped in my last enquiry about the similar blanket I saw on Kay and Ann's blog!
Wishing you warmth, style and comfort for the holidays...

I want to thank you for posting that question, because I had somehow missed that blanket. I decided to go ahead & order the Barbara Walker afghan book mentioned in the blanket post.
I hope you're making good progress with your Advent blanket! Great idea.

Thanks for all of your comments. Am now up to 7 squares... ! Each one takes an hour or two.
I have requested the Barbara Walker book from the library :-) just to feed my blanky obsession...
