Ahhh. . . sweet clouds

Summer is full on around here--finally!  It can get rather toasty for us rain lovers.  But today seems absolutely perfect.  It is warm, but overcast and just a little breezy.  I love it!!  It is the perfect day to just relax. . . and work furiously on my grandson's baby blanket.  Just two weeks to get it done!  Here is a peek:

It will (probably) consist of 25 squares. Nine of them will be like these above.  Eight will be green (if I can find the right color--time for a trip to Joanne's), and eight will be grey.  Each square will have the same white border.  I will stitch all the squares together then add a green and grey border.  It is all in a single crochet stitch, so it will be very durable, but it is made with 3-ply baby soft yarn.  It will be quite different from his brother's, but I hope it will be loved and used often.  I have to admit, I really enjoy crocheting for my grandchildren.  Each of these little blankies is filled with grammas love.
