YOP week 36: More Squares

3a475-yop2bheader
First I want to apologize for my yucky out side table. My porch has the best light.
A few weeks ago I started my Boston Bruin Blanket. I had trouble deciding on either to make traditional granny squares or solid.   With help of a facebook group I love , I will be making the blanket with solid squares. They will use up a but more yarn but the blanket will be warmer. Here is my progress so far....

These are squares for the top of the blanket. I ran out of yellow so I started making black squares.
This is the chart I am using .. I am using smaller squares because I don't need a big blanket.

I plan to make numbers ( by Moogly) for my favorite team members. I think I can fill up all the big squares around the B.

  1. You've done a lot of squares already! I think the more solid squares will also show your 'B' pattern much better! WTG!

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
