Introducing Jade and Peacock. (The 2 end squares.) Notice in the pic above( 3rd from left).... a LAVENDER square!!

I haven't been keeping up with these posts.. but the squares I have been. Below are the first 4 weeks of January 2016. The weather here has been a bit crazy. I love the variety of colors. I'm not sure which method to use to put them together though. But I have enough time to figure that out :)  91 and above - Cream 81 - 90            Perfect Pink 71 - 80            Rouge 61 -70             Lavender  51 - 60            Orchid 41 - 50            Bright Orchid 31 - 40            Turquoise  21 - 30            Delft Blue 11 - 20            Jade 10 and below- Peacock Snow days      White

YOP4 week 34: Boston Bruins Blanket

I have started the Boston Bruins Blanket. I love making granny squares and putting them together. That's why I loved making the Mario Blanket so much.  But this blanket is a bit different. there are 4 sizes of squares. 3, 6, 9 and 12 rounds.  That is a bit big for me, so I am doing 2,4,6,and 8 round squares. And I recently found a pattern for a solid granny square. I am not sure which square I like more. I don't want to make a bunch of squares in one style and end up not liking it and having to make them over again. This week I ask for your help! should I make the traditional granny square or the solid? let the square count down begin! Yellow 2 rnd sq- ___of 38 made 4 rnd sq- ___of 1 made 6 rnd sq- ___of 8 made 8 rnd sq- ___of 14 made Black 2 rnd sq- ___of 14 made 4 rnd sq- ___of  5 made 6 rnd sq- ___of  12 made 8rnd sq not needed
