My Colorful Squares Blanket

This is the first blanket I've completed since we moved to Namibia. It's simply just a combination of granny squares with five rows in each granny square and then arranged in clusters of 5 granny squares. (Free pattern below).

What I'm currently working on (and need to finish)

I have a bad habit of working on multiple crochet projects at a time. I like the fact that I can work on one project for a while and then jump to another one when I feel like working with different colours and stitches - that way it never gets boring. Also, I constantly think of new ideas for blankets that I want to try out - and sometimes I just don't have the patience to wait until I've finished the project I'm working on at the time. 
So therefore, I currently have 3 WIPs - and I have promised myself that I will finish them before the end of 2015. It's really about time that I finish them - not only have I been working on them for over a year, but I also have new projects planned for 2016 (Tunisian crochet - can't wait!) and I want to start 'from scratch' with no half-finished projects lying around.
