Heirloom Blanket - Yarn-Along

Start of the Knit Version

Crochet Version

So I was browsing on Ravelry and I came across this Yarn Along.  Knit 1 Sqaure a month for a year and then you have a beautiful reversible blanket!  I would love to knit it in the yarn suggested but I can't afford it! 











I am recycling yarn from a crochet blanket that I knit years ago.  I've decided that I like blankets without holes in it!










Here is block 1.  Now it is already April and only 1 block has been published. I might have to start designing by own blocks.  I love the idea of the blanket being reversible and each block being unique.

Have you ever knit a blanket before?  How long did it take you?
