finished

After a few months of slow crocheting I've finished my enormous granny square blanket.

It seemed to take forever as this is the biggest blanket I've made but I'm really pleased with the result.  As this one wasn't a gift I didn't have a deadline so I left it on the couch and every time I sat down I did a row. 

I swore I'd never make another one but today is a new day and I'm thinking of using some more of my gifted wool to make another blanket.  I saw a photo yesterday online but can't remember where of a quilted knitted blanket, I think I'll do the same thing but with crocheted squares and rectangles of different sizes.  Then I'll have to learn how to sew them neatly together.

call me nanna

One of my memories of my Nanna was she seemed to be always knitting coat hanger covers, they were the same pattern but in different colours.  Sometimes they had the plastic tubing to cover the metal hook, sometimes they didn't.  I only have one of Nanna's coat hangers in my cupboard now.



At Christmas last year I decided I'd make some of my own coat hangers but would crochet them as I'm not a knitter.  My friends called me Nanna but didn't say no when I handed them out, everyone is a secret padded coat hanger lover.  I finished a few more tonight and I'm keeping them.

granny square update

My blanket is growing, could be because I have an assignment due.  I turn to craft when I'm procrastinating.  I love how the blanket is looking and the yarn is so nice to work with.
