meant to be

For those of you who read my sick bed post you will know about my love of crochet blankets. Since that post I have felt better. So decided on quick crochet project . Picked a pattern went to blog and my eyes would served to sacrilegious granny square blanket. Best of all it was crochet a long. Every week for eight month you make three squares. Sounds easy enough so deciding it was fate I set to work.


The squares are meant to be eight inches my tension is off so slightly bigger. You use a 5mm hook with any double knit so great stash buster

Here are my first few squares

I love the  they are joined with a granny stripe  No unsightly sewing . The seem is almost invisible.

I willingness here and now I will not be making every square as the finished one way to big for my humble double bed.  And I may five up before then lol but at very least I will gave my very own crochet blanket  for next time I am.sick.

I took a break from snood as you know I needed to stop making granny squares . Yet when looking for mittens  to match hat found myself drawn to simple granny stripe. I like  the look  despite being different stitch  Think they look good together . This will more than likely be a Xmas present so the colours are ideal . I am glad I made it early as by Xmas I am sick of anything that red  green , or gold lol. Now I have run out of excuses I must get on with the snood.

spring cleaning aka stash busting

I like many crafters have a stash pile that take over the house. Most of this wool I inherited from a friend  whoose husband stated she could have no more wool untill her craft room cleared true to her word she put it all in bin bags delivered to me and promptly bought more  wool  .so now I have wool in every room in house . The thing about crochet is you can use the smallest of scraps and turn  it into something this is precisely what I will be doing with my granny square snood  . This has the advantage of teaching me how to join squares as you go something I have always stayed away from the snood is the design of another blogger at bunnymummy- Jacquie.blogspot.co.UK  .I am also half way through another project of hers  which I hope to post pics of soon

This is start of the snood long way to go.
