Starting a project

I always have difficulty starting a project especially when it has to do with yarn, and also when it is for some one else. I fret over perfecting it before I even begin, the pressure is there if the recipient is even going to like it. Though it took the plunge tonight starting my cousins baby blanket using this pattern http://mrs-dunn.blogspot.ca/2012/11/chevron-baby-blankets.html . I'm excited to see the colours work together and piece together the perfect baby blanket. Progress to come :)
