Last week I'd hoped I would be starting to sew my blanket together, but that was apparently too ambitious of a goal. Instead, I am continuing to plug away at making my granny squares - but I've made a lot!
Although, while the stack is continuing to grow, it has got some more growin' to do.
The pattern is still entertaining, with enough repetition where I can whip out a square from memory whilst watching television (or, the most recent season of Orange Is The New Black on Netflix) but because each round incorporates a different stitch, or set of stitches, it's not mindless work.

I did break down and buy a skein of navy blue yarn, which does slightly defeat the purpose of being a stash-busting blanket. I'm also tempted to purchase some purple. Yay or nay? I do like the rainbow effect, but I also want to rein it in a bit.
