And so far it's working out pretty well. Most days after collecting the toddler from nursery we sit down and relax for a bit, Milo watches whichever film it is he insists on watching every single day that month, and I have a cup of coffee and a breather, except now I have a cup of coffee and work up a crochet granny square. I am a couple of days behind at the moment in all honesty, but I hope to catch up later today.
The other great thing about this project is at the moment I am using my little jar of yarn balls too small for anything (except of course they are not too small for granny squares). It means not only am I using up otherwise wasted yarn, the blanket will also be quite an eclectic one. Mostly I am using double knit yarn but there is a bit of aran and a bit of 4ply thrown in too, it will also be a huge array of fibres (which granted will make washing it interesting) it's lovely though because there is a little bit of every project I've made with hook or needles over the last few years in there.
Here's hoping this one will actually get completed!
Of course there is still time to join in if you fancy, the facebook group is here.

Oh how lovely....the colors are fantastic!
ReplyDeletelove it!! the eclectic colors only makes it that much better:-)
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get my head around crochet so that I can give a big blanket full of squares a go, I am still quite the amateur though!
ReplyDeleteI love granny squares and have been wanting a blanket made from them. I think I can manage a square a day. Thanks for sharing the link to the group (which I have already joined).
ReplyDeleteGreat project. :) I did a granny a day last year, and I have been able to make so many projects with them all!
