Elizabeth's Blanket

I feel kinda bad about not posting for a while, so I am going to add a quick post on Elizabeth's blanket that I made for her for Christmas.  I am working on Totoro, which I should finish soon.  I have a couple of other things I need to finish as well...but, we have been busy around here, so I haven't been able to much in the crochet department in the last couple of weeks.  Okay...Ellie's blanket....



I was cruising the internet and found this pattern and thought it looked pretty, so I kept it in the back of my mind and I may have bookmarked it for future use.  My mom sent me some yarn for little miss and I started looking for a pattern...then I remembered this one.  So, I pulled it up, printed it out, and got started.  I told Ellie that it was for Nonna, then boxed it up for Christmas...she LOVES it!!  It is a very pretty pattern and it is easy once you get into the blanket a little way.  I did have to keep referring to the pattern at first, because the repeat isn't the same for every row.  This one, also, took me a little while to complete, but it was so worth it.  I actually want to make another one in a different color and fiber.  If you want to try it, the pattern is here.
