New - yarn and project

Pretty green cotton yarn for a summer top for me and nice soft baby yarn for a new little one.

MsD's first grandchild arrived late September but as he lives somewhere warm I'm thinking I have plenty of time to make a little blanket.

Going with a simple giant granny in three colours, this will be my commute project for as long as it takes to crochet those big balls of yarn.

Fortunately I had the right size hook in my bag so I got started on the way home on the same day I got the yarn, at 50% off - what a deal!

These colours are perfect for a baby boy.

The yarn is an acrylic/nylon mix, it is super soft and easy care.

I really needed to work on a project that is all in one. I already have three projects at the joining stage, I just need a little more at home, awake time to get them connected.
Hope you had a productive Monday and managed to stay dry.
