I would like to start a knitting project in the new year, that is a blanket made up of knitted squares, or possibly crochet if I can learn as I go. But which blanket to make? This is my dilemma!
I love the "barn-raising quilt" (pic#1) from the Knitalong book, by Larissa and Martin John Brown, but it sounds quite complicated, and I was thinking of something fairly mindless that just required a lot of repetition to make the final product.
I also love the "mitered square afghan" (pic#2) from Knitting at Knoon.
How to choose? There's also tons more possibilities obviously and I would love to hear any suggestions or advice that you have, please leave a comment and/or a link.

Thanks for your interest in the Barn Raising Quilt. I'm here to tell you it is mindless as the day is long! Once you start each square it is a matter of knitting around and around and around with a few well-placed increases on every other row. If you have the book in hand, please take a look at the instructions. I always love to see someone making one of these quilts. Each one is a work of art.
thanks so much for the advice!
I think it has to be the one to make - it's so beautiful - and picking the yarns as I go would be great fun!
I think you just made up my mind! Thanks again!
