Skittles Blanket - Quick Update

Not going to be a lengthy post, but I just finished construction of the skittles blanket.  I still have 203 ends to weave in, though.  But the time-consuming part is completely done!!!  Here's a picture I took a few minutes ago, and then this post is done.

I also chose to make an edging all the way around, and I'm really glad I did, it looks much more finished than my other completed granny square afghan.  (Why are they called granny squares, anyway?)  It's also quite heavy, I wasn't expecting it to have so much weight.  I am now going to try to weave in all those ends tonight in the hopes we can take it to Matt's parents' house and give it a quick wash tomorrow since we're going to be out that way anyway.  (It needs to go in a washing machine without an agitator so it doesn't get mutilated.)

Woo hoo!!!
