It is April, too cold, but just the right time and weather to play with new patterns and yarn. I have been enjoying exploring the Entrelac Tunisian stitch. You can make lapghans, afghans, baby blankets, and heaven know what else with this pattern. I like the pattern because it has a quilted look yet is crocheted in the round. The end product can be worked as a square, rectangle or in rows.  If you want a great tutorial, take a look at the Crochet Crowd's home page or the tutorials on YouTube. Mikey is your host and can accommodate the needs of both right and left-handed crafters.

Anyway, I found some great multicolored yarn tucked away in my closet and started a new blanket. I am using  Lion Brand Serenity for this project. The colors are Spring/Printemps and Seven Seas/Sept. They are a 5/bulky weight and have a nice weight and yet soft. I am using white to break up and define the colored areas. This is easy to do and makes a great gift.

I used the Spring for the center, the white, then the blues.

I am not sure how big this one will be. The edges will be finished off with half-triangles to close the gaps.
