Fast forward to October (geez, where'd the time go) and I FINALLY ordered the wool to make a Babette. Isn't it pretty?
Of course, this very wool went on sale less than a week after I'd ordered it all, but hey, them's the breaks.

I got to work that very day on making the Babette. The blanket is assembled in 10 different sections. I decided I would make the sections in order and assemble them as I go to help keep all those many, many squares organised. I also decided that I would follow the pattern as written, substituting my Bendigo Woollen Mills colours for the ones outlined in the pattern. The only main alteration I made was using a single crochet join instead of whipstitch.
It wasn't long before I had sections 1 through 5 complete.

Plus section 6....

Plus section 7...

And sections 8 and 9 ...

Then just as I was starting in to section 10 (the final section), I ran out of the cream/almond main colour! Oops. I quickly ordered some more. I was on such a roll and I'm so bummed I've had to put this project on hold for a week and a half now. Every day I wait for the wool delivery to come, but I'm still waiting... sigh...
In the meantime, my adorable doggie has given the blanket-thus-far her seal of approval.

Now if the postie would just hurry up with that wool already!
