Dad's Birthday Blanket.

You may or may not remember the 'Block a Month' squares I've been doing since January? Anyway, when I was at the hospital with my daughter yesterday (she was in for day surgery) I sewed 12 of them together and put a simple edge of single crochet round to finish. My dad is a HGV driver and is often away nights, hopefully this will help to keep him warm. Unfortunately it was actually his birthday yesterday and I didn't get to see him, so after work today I'm going to go and see my mum at her work and give her my dad's birthday gift. I was hoping to be able to give it to my mum on Saturday (her usual day to visit) but I just didn't have time to finish it as I was working on my sister-in-law's costume. I really must learn to say 'no' when people ask me to make them things and only give me a weeks notice. I was hoping to be able to make it larger and put a much nicer edging on it but hopefully he'll still like it anyway, also hoping he'll actually get to use it.
