Crochet Blanket

This is the first crocheted blanket I have ever made so it's a learn as you go project!  I found the blanket on Pinterest (no surprise there!) at Three Beans in a Pod .  I went to Joann Fabrics and chose 5 colours - 4 for the circles and 1 for the squares. I'm using Vickie Howell Sheep(ish) yarn that has 70% acrylic and 30% wool in it.  You can make approximately 10 circles from one ball of yarn so I only bought one of each colour for the circles and two for the squares - hopefully that's enough because I bought it a while ago and I'm not sure my Joann's still carries it!!!

Here's my progress so far - the circles are pretty quick and easy to do.

I just have a few more purples to go ...

And here is one of the turquoise circles made into a square with the green...

I hope to get started with the squares this weekend and then I can lay them out and decide how I want to put them together. Can't wait to get it finished
