Where Did The Sun Go?

Friday and Saturday where such lovely days but it has been back to the normal gloom and rain today although it feels very warm.

I want to take some crochet with  me on our few days away so have been looking for a suitable pattern to start on another baby blanket.

I found this for a pretty afghan on freepatterns.com.  I love the dusky shade of pink that has been used with the white but don't have anything similar in my stash.

I am currently on a self imposed yarn buying ban so I've decided to make it in simple baby pink and white which I have oodles of.  The blanket is made up of 40 small individual squares joined together for the centre piece with a deep border.

I'm hoping to have the middle squares completed on our four hour car journey and will work on the border if/when I feel like it.
