I'll be posting photos of each square as I complete them. (The most recent will always appear at the top of this page.)

146 squares completed. They're quite addictive. I went to Spotlight the other day and bought some silver grey which I'm thinking will be a good neutral to join them all together. I quite like making them. Maybe I'll keep going.

I've now completed 139 squares. I've decided that once I have 144 I'll join them into a big blanket (12 x 12). Designing the layout and decided what colour to join them with will be interesting!

I'm currently knitting a cardigan for myself. Work stalled when I couldn't understand the instructions. I thought I would have to call someone (they have help lines you know). After a couple of days without an opportunity to call, suddenly the answer was clear. In the meantime, I made some more squares.

I might need to change this now to" Granny every so often"...

I seem to be back in the swing of the squares again.

Here are another nine squares that I've finished over the last month. Inspired by the colours.

One a month? Where did the time go? I'll need to decide what to do with all the squares soon.

It's not really one a day at the moment...one a week is still a good result. I'm doing a lot of knitting.

Since arriving home, I've picked up the crochet hook again and plan to continue until my stash is gone. Really enjoying playing with colour!

I'm going to sound old, but I vaguely remember when larger versions of these Granny Squares were used to make vests in the 70s i.e. vests with one large square at the front and another at the back, with knitted straps added. I seem to recall a couple of girls wearing these at my Primary School. Cheers from Caz :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes Caz! I had a little suit with a crocheted skirt and vest made out of granny squares when I was about five. I remember it vividly. Difficult to wear, but great as a blanket!
DeleteThanks for stopping by.
