Happy Birthdy Solomon!!

Today, Omar and I are going to visit our friends Seb, Kelly, Isaiah and Solomon for Solomon's first birthday.  For the last year or so, I have been working on a crocheted blanket for him.  The yarn is Lion-Brand Wool-Ease, so it's easy to care for and hopefully will survive lots of washings and other sorts of abuses.  This blanket is one of my very first crochet projects ever!   There's a lot of learning in those squares.  It's about 2/3rds finished, I think...  Hopefully, when it's done, it will be about the size for a twin bed.  It's been a super portable/easy to stop and start sort of project.  Really nice for taking to long rehearsals and boring meetings.  I haven't figured out what the best way will be to stitch it together, but I think I have some time to work that out.  Here's a photo... the green is really more Irish green then the tealish color in the photo.  The red yarn has specks of green, yellow and blue.  I'm not sure what the final patchwork configuration will be... depends on how many squares of each color I end up with.  We'll see... ;-)
