Okay, so I’ve calmed down and realized that I need to stick to what I do best. So, here is attempt #1 at making a crochet martini-patterned square (or, in this case, rectangle):

I’m also going to experiment with embroidering a martini glass onto a plain rectangle, and making a flat crocheted martini glass and sewing that onto a rectangle. Then I’ll let my sister pick her favorite one and go from there to make the blanket.

Ahh, feels good to be home in crochetville!
