new squares!!

Today i have mostly been making some progress on the Bamboo Blankie.
I have decided that it will be 5x4 squares and there will be 10 multi-colour blocks and 10 single colour blocks - one in each shade. Today i have made 4 blocks - the multi-colour block is "Gothic Square" and the three single colour blocks are: Alhambra, Lacy Cross and Queen Anne's Lace in shades 131, 132 and 133 respectively.
I never did find the bone hook that i used last year but i have found a 3.5mm that makes the right size square so i am going with that!

I'm really pleased with how the squares have come out and hope that my arthritic hands will last out long enough that i can finish this in the next week - i don't remember crochet hurting this much before :o(
