Granny square baby blanket for the NC State Fair
This year I am trying to use the yarn I have on hand to crochet my projects for the NC State Fair this year. This makes Mr. M very happy! :) I wanted to make a colorful baby blanket this year and I was originally going to do a corner to corner blanket. I was inspired by someone that I found on Facebook that is a yarn bomber in California. He is trying to crochet the world's largest granny square as well as planning a very large yarn bombing project later this year. So I found a rectangle granny square pattern and started my blanket. Below are pictures of the progress it took to complete the blanket. It only took me a week to make so I am so on fire this year getting my projects done.

My WIP Mission
After Mike asked me the other day, "When are you going to finish that Mondrian afghan you started for the fair?" Ok, I started the thing 3 years ago now. I am all done except for the red block and a few white squares. Off of the top of my head, I believe that there are around 250 red two round granny squares left in the red block. Just have not been able to face them. But I do believe it is time to finish the thing and have it ready for the fair next year. Since this year's fair ends on Sunday I have over a year to complete my mission. I will pull the finished pieces out of the tote this weekend and take some pictures to post.
It was a dry year for me at the fair this year with my entries. No ribbons this time. The judges love the tiny lacy stuff on the baby items but I just can't work with a hook smaller than a F. So that puts me out of the loop there. If I had finished my felted purse I might have gotten something. Only three entries in that category this year. Could have done a better stuffing job on my safety barrel so he would have looked better. Oh well, will have to try again next year.
