The Babette Blanket Inspired Me

I kno its been a while since ive been on here. I was so busy with the finals at school and all the projects i had going on i totally forgot about my precious blog. but i promise i will be updating almost daily now.

So i was looking around on http://www.flickr.com/ for inspiration on some things i could crochet or different types of yarns or colors and i came across a blanket by the name of Babette. Here is a picture of the blanket that inspired me and convinced me to make one of my own the most:

I absolutely loved the colors of it although it was a tad bit to summery lol. But anyway so i started googling the Babette blanket and realized that it was an actual pattern posted in a crochet magazine. Now i dont really buy crochet books or magazines. I pretty much come up with my own patterns and make up my own things by getting inspiration off of others pictures. So little ol' me starts to think....hmmm all this blanket is is a bunch of granny squares. Why not make my own design and call it my own type of blanket? Sounds good dont it? So thats exactly what i decided to do.

Now what i failed to realize with starting this project is for one it would take a while to decide what colors i wanted to make the Babette. So i chose to use caron simply soft yarn and the colors bright green, bright purple, regular purple, light purple, hot pink, white, and blue.
