and decided that they will be my next blanket project - I might make them larger because I don't think I will be able to join the squares as you go (unless any of you lovelies knows how to do this) and I might even be tempted to use my secret Rowan stash! I keep gazing at it and thinking its too nice to use!!!!!
I also started another project which has been (sorry to all you dedicated crochet fans) knitting! I made myself a hat which a dear friend remarked on, so I am making her one for Christmas and a scarf to match.
Its in this nice Crofter wool and knits ( or I'm sure crochets ) to a pretty random look and is nice and soft.
I am also making a glasses case for the same friend, and I must start some of Lucy's wristwarmers for another friend. Of course, there is still the matter of the Cot Blanket - hoping to make more progress with that tonight - phew! I had better get started - as my English teacher used to say:-
"Procrastination is the thief of time"
Have a great evening
Speak soon xx
Those look lovely squares. Where did you get the pattern? I'm also loving that Crofter wool:-)

You can knit as well ! Gosh you are brilliant. Love the squares, cute pattern. I think they would look really good in a blanket. Easy stitch to do.

Glad to know there is another cross-crafter around!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove to see the finished hat and I do love the granny squares. They are great in-between fillers without too much thought
I am not one who crochets ( I can feel a New Year's Resolution coming on !) but Lucy of Attic24 has a tutorial for joining Granny squares as you go . Her Granny squares are a bit different to yours - maybe yours are just bigger - but thought you may be able to adapt Lucy's method to siut your needs.

Love your coloursby the way.
Cheers
Love your Grannies. I also do a stitch or two in between other jobs. I even keep a tote bag with just leftover yarn in the car and work on granny squares whenever I have to wait in the car while my husband runs in the store for something. I believe every minute counts. Good for you on the knitting, I have tried and all I have mastered is just straight knitting. I just go back and forth....but at least I'm going somewhere!! Take care.
