I changed the way I am joining the squares on my blanket. The first way was easy, but it left the whole thing kind of crooked. I wouldn't mind so much if it was just for me, but I couldn't give it as a gift. So I found this method for joining (I think this is a much more common method), and its turning out well.
Its still a little crooked, but I think that's just the nature of the work. Hopefully once I get it washed & dried it will straighten out a bit more. My MIL misses her home in NM a lot, so I thought I would do a blanket in the colors of NM to cheer her up while its -2 degrees here :) Also, its a granny square blanket - and she's about to be a granny :)

That link just led me to a Flickr photo, but not a method. How are you joining them? I haven't done any for a long time, but I think I usually join them by doing single-crochet stitches through the loops of both squares.
Annie - I fixed it. Its in her Flicker PhotoStream - I just grabbed the wrong link. Sorry!
This method makes it all lay flat. I have done the SC through the loops before, and it kind of leaves a ridge (sometimes I like that though :))
Congratulations!
Wait "she's about to be a granny" Does that mean congratulations and diaper Qs are in order? Things have been busy but I have still been keeping up-I thought of you today with the grocery bag when I was black friday shopping with it today. I hope all is well and you had a wonderful holiday with your family. Your handiwork is amazing! Wishing you well!
