A crochet update

I haven't posted anything about crochet in a while and that's simply because I haven't done much crochet lately since football season ended. I think I've also been staying away from it because I was a little stuck on my 2 projects. One of them is this donation baby blanket. It's supposed to have a border on it but I kind of messed up the first row so I couldn't figure out how to do the border to get the top and bottom even. I finally decided that I could skip the border and call it done.
​

The blanket finished about 34" square, a nice size for a baby quilt.
The pattern is from Yarnspirations and is called Bundle in Blue. I can't find it on Yarnspirations anymore, but I did find it here.
The yarn is Sundance Scramble from Herrschner's. I love how this yarn looks but I don't really love the yarn. I have a feeling it's going to pill based on one small washing sample. I used a 5.5mm hook.
​

I do like how the yarn stripes and it worked well with this pattern. I would make this pattern again.

The other project I have going on is a summer vest. I'm not in love with it so I'll eventually decide if I'm going to finish it or not.
​

Meanwhile, I've decided to start 2 more blankets.The purple/green print yarn is a 3 weight and I'll make this blanket again. I remember it being easy and fast and being really pretty when it was done.

The blue, white and yellow yarns will be for a bigger donation blanket and I'll probably make it like this one. I've done that pattern twice and it's another fast and fun one.
