New Baby Blanket

Here's a few skeins of the yarn I got from Hancock's on sale:

At first I wasn't sure how they would blend together. But, now, I'm loving these colors!

I planned on using these for a baby blanket for Nicole's baby. I've already started it, it's crocheted. This is the begining of it. I have alot more on this done now than when this picture was taken:

I'm using a "Speed Hook" crochet hook and just like the name of the hook, it's fast! This will be completed in no time. This is my first crochet project and I'm amazed at how easy it is. Knitting is not this fast. I highly recommend for any first time crochet-er, use this needle, it makes learning and understanding fun. Here's a close up:

The pattern is from the Lion Brand Yarn website. They have lots of free patterns. You'll have to sign up but worth if for all the free patterns. You can also search by hook size for patterns. For example, I typed in "speed hook patterns" and every pattern that uses the speed hook came up. Lots of quick and easy crocheting!
