Skein and Hook

Milo is coming along!  I am working on the last few rounds of the border and I'm so excited to finish it and lay under it :) When I crochet a blanket, coming to the end is always bittersweet.  I am always excited to see it in all its finished glory but side I have dedicated so much time on it, I'm sad that its over.  Here are some pictures...

This is a new pattern that I have been working on and I am loving it.  I am using Cascade Yarns Elysian and it is a dream to work with.  This yarn is made of 60% super wash merino wool and 40% acrylic.  The colors are rich and beautiful.  And, I LOVE the feel of it as well as the twist of it.  Here is a close up of it... There is a great selection of colors and these are the ones I settled on for this blanket. I'm loving watching my squares stack up, waiting to be made into a blanket. Somebody else loves my squares too... I hope to have it finished in the next week or two, and when I have the pattern ready, I will have yarn kits available for it in my Etsy shop too!
