First Granny Square Blanket

I am in love! ~swoon~

 

 

Basic Granny Square instructions. Center square is 5 rows. Each color afterwards is only 3 rows.

Last WIP Update

I know it has been a while, but I have had a few other areas of my life to focus on recently. I have had a few side projects going on in the mean time and would love to share them with you. I have made a total of **19** squares from the blanket in the last post. I am trying to use yarn I already have versus purchase more so I found a few extra shades of colors I can throw in. One of them is featured in this post and is the darker tan/beige color. Before it was just the blue variegated and the light tan and dark blue. I did find 2 more skeins of yarn in the variegated blue so I will be able to either make more squares or use it for the border.

One of my many many many .... many WIPs

Meet (one of) my work(s) in progress:

I have always wanted to do a granny square afghan and for whatever reason I have decided to start one. It takes me about an hour if I am giving it my full attention, even though I can do the stitch with my eyes closed. There are 3 acrylic yarns chosen which seem to compliment each other; one variegated yarn and 2 solid cool colors that are contained in the first yarn. The squares (size now) are around 8 inches. I am not sure how many I plan to do or how I am going to join them together, but in the end I know it will look great and be warm. I might be a little off in the one blue, or it just might be shinier, but it seems close enough.
