It's been a while since I started crocheting something. (Med school as been stressful as always and keeping me busy, but luckily this *should* be my last semester and will finally graduate and test for my license soon this late Summer). I will be moving out of my parent's home and out of state closer to my boyfriend and have my own place, so I had the need to start on another crocheted blanket that reminds me of home. I'm using up all of my yarn stash [that my mom and I both hunted down skeins of yarn over the course of a couple years] as much as possible to create this traditional granny square blanket. This will be a nice memento to take with me to California on my move away from Illinois, and it'll be something nice to cuddle into whenever I feel homesick.  ♥
