Making a blanket, just because the I liked the color

I had no need for another blanket, and I cannot think of anyone who would want one, let alone someone who would tolerate the color.  All I know is that when I saw the yarn at the craft store I thought, this is too terribly beautiful to pass up.
The pattern comes from The Complete Book of Crochet Stitch Designs: 500 Classic & Original Patterns by Linda P. Schapper. It ended up being a perfect Springtime afghan. This blanket is currently available for sale on my Etsy site. Click here to check it out on Etsy
