because I'm lazy

I want a blanket to curl up on the couch in our newly redecorated family room, THIS winter... not NEXT year (or worse ! you know how that goes sometimes...)
I found this quick & easy pattern in the winter 2003 issue of Marie-Claire Idées (the French craft magazine)

I bought some so warm and so light icelandic (100%) wool on etsy and set to work right away, replacing the garter stitch of the plain squares by some (US)double stitches, with a crochet size 4.5mm

10 squares so far, I will need 35
I'll keep you posted !!
Enjoy this first week of Fall -- if you're in the northern hemisphere ;) in the southern part it may be... Spring ?

    Sounds like a good start to your blanket. I have a knitted blanket which I seem to have been knitting for years, and yes it is about 3 years too.
