WIP: Granny Square Super Mario

Well, look where we are! It's nearly the end of August and this neverending blanket is yet to be finished. I ran into some issues. The peachy skin color is not available in the worsted weight Lion Brand Wool Ease yarn that I've been using for all the other colors. Even turning to Vanna's Choice (or whatever that other brand is) proved to be fruitless. I had to get the peach color from Red Heart, which is the crappy yarn. I hope my brother doesn't spill anything on this blanket because washing it may prove to be a problem.

I'm still down two skeins of chocolate brown yarn. It had been out of stock during the colder months, so I had turned my attention to the denim blue, which is in lieu of the sky blue color Super Mario Bros is so well known for. Oh, well. I have to make due with what's available to me!

Here is my progress so far. It looks like I'm more than halfway through!! Woohoo!!!!
