Did you ever fall in love with something that you just thought it was going to turn out just plan ugly.
Well, that's what happen when making this blanket. I really thought when adding each square that this blanket was going to turn out horrible---but I pushed on adding more and more squares, it turned out beautiful. Just the way I had imagined it from the start.
The easiest crochet stitch I have come across yet is the one used for a granny square blanket.
So many colors were used. So many colors that I normally would not have used. I tend to use more soft colors in my work but a colorful blanket was calling to me.
Using a size H crochet hook- I made several squares for days, really weeks and then added them together one by one until it reached a good size. It's not too big. It will cover a twin size bed very well or you can use as a throw.
Since it's getting closer to the Holidays,
I'll be back soon about a jolly ole fellow

DeleteWhat a beautiful blanket! I can't imagine it ever looking horrible but I do know what you mean about blankets going through rough patch. This one certainly recovered well though!

I have lots and lots of little balls of cotton leftover from dishcloths. I plan to make a granny blanket from them soon, but first I have got to finish all of these mittens. I'm really getting tired of mittens!!! I can't wait to start a blanket just like yours.

You poor thing, I know it seems you have been working on mittens for a while now but soon you'll be finished with them and you can work on something else. This blanket started off on a bad leg but I kept going and now I love it soooo much. I wrapped it up for my MIL Christmas present yesterday and I miss seeing it already.
DeleteHugs to you, Shari
Maybe in 2014 I will make a granny square and crochet a blanket....your beautiful work inspires me to want to do just that, Shari. Thanks for posting! xx
ReplyDeleteAwwww how sweet of you Gracie! I am glad you like it. I do hope you are still enjoying yours I had made. Each time I visit your blog I am always looking around in your pictures to see if I can get a glance at it!
