Plans for a Baby Blanket

Well, I was looking through my baby knitting book last night and thought the baby will need a baby blanket. I crochet both of my other sons a blanket and they are still using them. I came across the Garter Stitch Blanket that looks fairly simple, it just has a lot of squares to knit. This will be my first attempt at knitting a blanket. Another person has knitted the same blanket on Ravelry and it is gorgeous!!

I purchased some Vanna's Choice by Lion Brand Yarns to make the blanket. I only purchased three colors today, Dusty Purple, Linen, and Dusty Green. I will get the other three colors {Taupe, Sliver Blue, and Dusty Blue} later. In total, the blanket will cost me less than $20 to make!
