A few weeks back I splurged on some wool. Not just any wool. I splurged on Morris and Son's brand of Paddington wool which is made up of 80% bamboo and 20% Merino.
Bamboo wool is wonderful. Soft as marshmellow, eco-friendly, hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial which is perfect for baby projects. (...Put down the phone mum. I'm crocheting this for Frank.)
64 granny squares and one giant blister later, this is where I'm at...
... and I've run out of wool to join all the squares together! (This is what you get when you try to skimp.)
So back to Morris and Sons next week as I hope to get this finished by next Sunday. After that, Merv has forbid me from starting a new project till after the wedding. I know, "forbid" is a pretty strong word and no one can really forbid anyone from doing anything. But he makes a good point. There's eight weeks till the big day and I have no wedding bands, no honeymoon booked, no makeup/hair artist... but I will have a beautiful baby blanket ready for baby BJ's arrival. Yep, I've got my priorities sorted.
