Starting on Blanket for Financial Challenge

Yesterday I went to Walmart and bought some yarn and crocheting needles to get started on my first project for the Financial Blessing Challenge. I used to have a whole collection of needles and have no idea what happened to them. Maybe they are in the garage somewhere (sigh). Of course that is another post for another day!

At any rate, I was going to take a picture of the blanket I'm working on, but my daughter, who seems to be a bit more excited about the crocheting than I am, has misplaced my book. No worries for now since rows 2-30 are the same thing. I'm on row 5 and here's what it looks like so far. I curved it around so it would all fit in the picture frame. Of course it will be straight when it's done.
