Building the Rockets

The Rocket blanket is coming along nicely. I have the orange block, tan block, and half the gray block done. I still haven't decided how I'm going to put it together or what pattern I'm going to use to edge the blanket. Each block is measuring 14 inches by 15inches. I'm loving the color combo - so boyish. I would like to be finished with the blanket by this coming Friday.

New Ravelry Project

I wanted to make my son a blanket and I couldn't find any crochet patterns I liked with a rocket theme. I had been wanting to do some thing with filet stitch, so I figured this was a good time to try it. I was going to do small squares of filet stitched rockets with one giant rocket in the center. But I was suprised by the size of the finished square, much larger that I expected. So change of plans!
