first crocheted blanket of 2011

I just finished my first crocheted blanket of 2011 it is pink and purple with a light multicoloured boarder. It looks kinda like a spider web. I got the base idea from http://www.woolcrafting.com/octagon-baby-afghan.html. I just used the base idea from here I used my own colours as well as added the boarder to each section and around the outside. I choice to make this blanket because I wanted to something unique and that I have never tried before. I really liked this pattern it was quick and easy. It took me 1 week real time and about 24 hours crocheting time. The blanket it a baby blanket and I think it is beautiful!!!!
