Knit and crochet spots and stripes blanket

I finished a new blanket, I'm pretty happy with it:

Knit and crochet blanket with spots and stripes

I love the look of it! Originally I wanted to do different size spots in 3 colours, but I didn't find three matching colours that I liked, and I really wanted to start the project. Both the crochet and the knit squares were easy to make and different from each other, so I didn't get bored with this project.

What I don't like about this is the size: it's not very big, some of the squares are attached a bit crooked to each other, because of the different lengths, but I'm hoping it will be less noticeable over time. I wish it was black and white, that would be so stylish! 

Well, I'll have to make another one some day. First though, I want to make one with different sized and coloured spots.
