Squares on Sunday

One square finished for my grandma's blanket, and four that were just photographed.

Like all squares for this afghan, they were made with an I hook, Lion Brand One Pound in Lavender, Red Heart Soft Baby in Rocking Horse, and Caron Simply Soft in White and Soft Green. All patterns are from 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton. You can see the whole set on my Flickr HERE.

#69: Fudge

#157: Boxed Square

#42: Lacy Wheel

#117: Granny in the Middle

#19: Lacy Cross

Progress

Progress on the Primary Colors Guilty Pleasure Granny-ghan. It's coming along nicely, it's very warm when I work on it. And there was a sale at Michael's (when is there not!) and bought another skein of Golden and Colonial. (the blue) I really liked the way the blue frames it, and I wanted it to be a bit bigger. I'm looking forward to see how it turns out!

(And no, I haven't broken my 2011 resolution to buy no more yarn. That was there mainly to prevent me from buying yarn to hoard stash. Besides, this is stashbusting!)

A Large Square for Sunday

Please excuse the horrid lighting in this picture, but this is my newest project. Despite the fact I have a lot of projects to do, and a lot of other afghans to do and finish first, I decided to gather all my Lion Brand Homespun together and crochet a big granny square. I have 4 balls, so I'll probably need more, but I'm not there yet. It's all primary colors: I have two skeins of red, a skein of gold and another of a dark blue. It'll be red, yellow, blue then red again. Hopefully (crosses fingers!) it'll be a decent size by then and I won't need to buy anymore. Since I've been stressed recently it is nice to do granny rounds, which I love, and make something that's for me and doesn't have a due date. It's just a nice project to enjoy and watch grow.

Squares on Sunday!

Yay, features are back!

Gah it's sideways!

So far I think I have eight 6 inches and three 12 inches to go. It's obviously not going to count as a birthday or Christmas gift, but I don't even think it'll be a New Year's Present, nor do I think I'll be able to deliver it in person. That sucks, but at least she'll receive it.
