you know me , as soon as one project is completed I need something new to work on . Crochet is my relaxation. At the end of a busy day a simple pattern is what I need , something that does not require much concentration .
So I'm back to granny squares......they are so versatile and I never seem to tire of them. I'm trying again to make a baby blanket with small solid coloured squares like Heather's wonderful creation. So I stuffed my project bag with yummy Stylecraft colours..........
And began. For ease I've reverted to a favourite joining method......join as you go ............and I'm loving the result..........
Here's a close up.........
Yes , I love how this project is coming along :0)
I'm carrying my faithful old project bag with me as I move from room to room..........
Making a couple of squares while dinner is cooking , a couple more while I supervise home work . They are so quick and easy , the only downside I can think of is that there are no piles of cute granny squares to photograph and admire .
I've made 36 squares so far, now I'm sewing in the ends before adding more..........
So this blanket is going to be much closer to Heather's version , though still a little different . It will be for sale at some stage . Maybe other items would be easier to sell , and I will make other things , but right now baby blankets are giving me a lot of pleasure so I'm sticking with them.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Jacquie, lovely new project you are working on! I know how perfect granny squares in baby blanket size work, and how nice it is to join them as you go and see the blanket growing every minute... Enjoy your weekend!

ReplyDeleteEsther.
That's so pretty - happy colours! They are very relaxing aren't they? I'm on a "learn new skills" mission at the moment, which is very exciting, but it does mean I can't do it while cooking tea, or watching over homework, or even just communicating with my family!

ReplyDeleteWow! I love it and so simple! You have inspired me for my next project. Love the join as you go. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJoin as you go is the best. Your squares look lovely.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
I really love this little granny blanket pattern too. Yours looks great with all those CoLoRs.......oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteOh aren't you good, with my knitting I invariably start something else before the first thing is finished, you are very disciplined to get the project finished first... I think I always spend too much time dreaming of what's next rather than on what's now!
ReplyDeleteHappy Crafting
