I thought I’d better refresh my memory of crochet by making up a couple of granny squares. I used these fabulous video tutorials from Meet Me at Mikes to refresh my memory.
The problem is that I can’t seem to stop! Combining the colours is my favourite part 🙂 I’m not sure just how far these tiny balls of wool will go, but I plan on continuing until they run out. My ideas for ‘things to make’ depending on the amount I can eek out are:
1. cushion cover
2. scarf
3. bassinette blanket (even though blankets are ‘on the outer’ due to SIDS)
4. pram blanket (ditto)
5.cot blanket (ditto)
6. lap blanket
I seriously doubt that I’ll get anywhere near lap blanket size… but it’s there as an option. Just in case.
I have contempated weighing the squares done so far, weighing the balls of wool and calculating the number of squares I could expect to achieve. But where’s the fun in that?
So pleased that you're continuing with your blog. Although I have crocheted & knitted in the past I have never considered myself 'crafty' but wanted to tell you what I once did with granny squares. About 38 yrs. ago I made my son, then aged 2/3 yrs. waistcoats out of them, using two or three colours. So simple, as they were sleeveless & unrestricting but warm - we lived in UK then. Please keep the photos of Jasper coming as he's so gorgeous. All the best for your move - we're planning our 18th. one in 50 yrs. (& last!) next year. Val.
don't make cushions - they are really had to keep clean. I love the idea of the scarf =D
