One Square at a Time

Three of my cousins have had babies. The last two had their boys after I learned to knit/crochet and I made baby blankets for them. I felt bad that I hadn't made one for my older cousin who'd had her son before I learned fiber arts, so I was determined to make a throw for him.

The problem? It takes a long time to knit a blanket for an older child. Baby blankets are nice and tiny. Older kid blankets are bigger and get soooo tedious to knit.

I went to Plan B. It's called the Traveling Afghan and every two weeks, there is a new square released. I can do a 10 inch square every couple of weeks. Much more doable than doing the same pattern over and over for the length of a throw.

Two squares done so far and I'm working on the third. I hope this idea works and I can finish the blanket this year!
