Thank you all for your great comments on my last post. It was lovely to get such friendly , chatty feedback .
Today the sun was shining again and I couldn't resist spending a little time photographing my growing pile of granny square goodness, especially as my Irises were looking stunning too...............
Flowers and colourful crochet ...is there anything better to take pictures of ( except of course your children when they are little , mine are not so little and not always keen to have their photo taken these days,even though they are still cute to me :0) )......
I'm loving these little squares very much . The yarn is mostly Cygnet , which I get at a ( bet you can guess!).......... local charity shop .It's double knitting weight according to the label but it's finer than most of the other brands I use , which makes it ideal for this project. ....
It's acrylic again. One day I will get to try some luxury wool yarn , but not this year. The colours of this yarn are lovely and it is soft with a nice sheen. so I'm happy to use it ..........
My slow blanket project is proving to be just that , I think I've only made 3 of these this week as I've been playing about with other ideas .......including another jar jacket...... but that's just how I like it :0)
Have a great weekend .

Blue skies, clouds and sunshine here today, a real mixed bag.
Enjoy your weekend,

P.S: Your new header is gorgeous ;)
So very jealous of your grannies, they are looking wonderful! I think I need to make it a late new years resolution to try (again) to learn to crochet! Not sure where I would even begin to start though...sigh! x
ReplyDeleteI love seeing grannies all huddled together especially when they're so bright and cheerful. It looks as though you've used a new colour on each of the squares, such an array of colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely colourful pics - those grannies are coming on well :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend xx
Grannies are great to make and so happy :)) The colours are lovely :))

Really delicious Jacquie, it's like slow food (crochet) rather than fast food(crochet), slow is good in the end! Sometime acrylic is the only yarn that works, I used to be quite specific about not using acrylic but I had a weird perception of it from the 70's ad was pleasantly surprised how gorgeousit can be these days...consequently I use it a lot now xox Thaks for all your colourful crochet happies xox
ReplyDeleteLove those little granny squares, the colours are so clear I'm going to check out acrylic yarns I think I have a bad attitude to it as well! That's totally the fault of the '70s' LOL! Remember brushed nylon too!
