I am so much happier with the blanket I made today (very quickly, I might add; it makes a huge difference when you actually know how to run your machine!). So, I whipped up a batch of oatmeal cookies and brought them and this blanket over to my neighbor with the new baby. I did a much better job. The corners weren't perfect but they weren't bad, either. I'm excited to try something new for my next project (probably a tote bag for Anna).
