Making:

These little lovelies (called yo-yo's):



into a blanket:


for the baby. We still don't know the gender, but HEY... I have plenty of boys things already... and quite a few marvelous friends who ARE having girls around the same time. So... I can save it or give it to one of them... I'll admit it, I am kinda hoping its a girl!
Info wise-- each yo-yo is made from a CD-size circle. Four yo-yo's make a block (for what I did). There are 99 blocks laid out on my bed right now waiting for me to start sewing. Better go! Wish me luck that I finish before this baby comes!

you are so ambitious! Is the blanket just the yoyos? Or is there a backing to them? Ps- My baby countdown says my baby is one day old! Sad. I'm taking it down!
