Friends, I have made such progress on my granny blanket! It's kind of hard to tell, because my new squares are so much smaller than the original squares... Can you tell? I'm up to almost a full sixth round... What do you think? I still don't know how big it will be when I'm done... But it's still progress towards completing one of my half-finished projects!
It's getting tricky to combine the colors in new ways... I find that I always want to pair greens with purples, blues with oranges, and reds with neutrals... Trying to break out of that has admittedly resulted in some ugly pieces, but I think it will all balance out in the end!
Want to make a blanket of your own? Check out the tutorial here. :)
Also... Do your toes ever stretch out your socks like this? Somebody needs a pedicure!
Oh, it's fun to see it come together! Choosing the right color combos can get a bit tricky.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love how you get your cute socks in the pics too! :)
so cute!!
ReplyDeletei wish i knew how to do this.
Monica your blanket is coming along great! Can't wait to see the result!
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! I tried my hand at learning to crochet...i learned one stitch and made a square...thing...about the size of an oven mit. it is currently sitting in my craft box, still attached to the ball of yarn because i never got far enough to learn how to tie it off. Learning to *actually* crochet is still on my to-do list ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Gabby! I feel the same way about knitting, hah! I'm planning to put together a how-to-crochet series relatively soon... I promise it isn't as hard as it looks! :)

Wow! So pretty. You're doing a beautiful job. And side note, did you know you can get a pedicure in some airports? I had a 2 hour layover in Atlanta and got a pedicure. Ahh, relaxing!
