Shifting Hues

My brother is expecting his first baby with his fiancée in December, so I took the excuse to knit a baby blanket version of the Hue Shift Afghan which I'm been drooling over intermittently since it was first released.

A small knitted blanket made of squares in shades of blue and green arranged in a pattern that creates a gentle gradient. It has a black border, and is spread on a bed. In the distance there is a glass door opening onto a patio. There  is, for some reason, a satellite on the patio, surronding by weeds growing up through the flagstones.

I'm so happy with it despite the obvious mistake that I left in because I was too far advanced to want to backtrack to fix it. Can you find it?

The ends are woven in now but now the thunderstorms have finally arrived the light is a bit bleh.
Now I'm starting one for my brother's step-daughter, and I really hope that shes still into these colours by the time I'm finished.
 

I'm 3 blocks in, but this one will full size so its going to be a mission, especially if I want it done by December!
