Kati is visiting right now and has declared her blanket to be "pretty". Whew. Makes a gran's heart glad. I measured last night and have completed 33½" of roughly 80". I keep thinking of Easter baskets and bunnies as I crochet with these colors. The lavender should be perfect in her little girl bedroom. 
This is for our granddaughter, Kati. Her birthday is this summer and I'm hoping to have it finished well before then. She is one of those unusual souls who has no favorite color, but her bedroom is lavender. Her mother did ask her the other day to choose another color for the eventual painting of her room After much deliberation, she chose green. Green — for a 5 year old little girl! I thought the 5 year old standard bearer colors for females were pink and purple! Her blanket will be like an Easter basket — bright eggy colors!
Ah, ha! Sorry for the nearly double post, but I was determined to figure this picture thing out. Thankfully, I noticed the correct buttons. This is the ripple baby afghan I am nearly finished with. I would prefer a brighter colors, but these are available locally (a euphemism for Wal-Mart) in baby sport yarn. When I get yarn for my granddaughter's blanket, it will be worsted and hopefully, brighter pastels.
