So I’ve decided to do this ‘granny a day’ thing. I’m not sure how it will go as I get bored with doing the same thing very, very easily (which is why I’ve never managed to make a blanket before). But I’m willing to give it a go. Wish me luck.
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything. I thought I may have been over the morning sickness but it’s still lingering and unfortunately the thought of picking up a crochet hook makes my stomach churn – I can’t even look at Ravelry without feeling nauseous! I really miss it but at the same…
Found this on Pintrest, had to share:
This is more than a little embarrassing to admit but for the longest time I thought that coat hangers were actually pronounced ‘hoat cangers’. It’s a mistake I made as a small child and never really thought about untill…… well, quite a bit later. In my defense I’m extremely dyslexic and this is not the…
Top ten free crocheted toy patterns for babies and kiddies. I’ve decided to do a top ten series, there soooo many kind, talented designers out there offering their patterns for free. The web is a veritable treasure trove such things, there’s no need to go out and spend lots of money on fancy books (although…
This year will be Amelie’s first proper Easter (last year she was still drooling and unable to move from wherever I plonked her) so I feel the pressure to make it extra special. I don’t want her to consume TOO much chocolate so I’m going to scatter around a combination of chocolate eggs and other…
I made this bonnet for a very good friend of mine who’s little girl was born 2 days ago on the 4th of July. I couldn’t find a pattern that was quite right so I made one up. NEWBORN: Hook: 3.5mm Yarn: DK / 8 ply 6 MONTHS: Hook: 4.5mm Yarn: Worsted / 10 ply…
Good luck! I totally understand the getting bored easily. I have a large array of UFO’s next to my chair and my craft room looks like a yarn & fabric bomb went off. It looks like you are off to a good start though 😉
I completely sympathize with craft/yarn room thing. Only my craft room was supposed to be a nursery and now my daughter is almost 2 and it’s looking more and more like a yarn room and less and less like Amelie’s ever going to have her own room.
I’m glad to hear you are coming over to team Craft Camper (finally). C’mon, what’s not to love about a tilraer that is your craft room on wheels? If only I could’ve afforded a real truck that could haul stuff. Poor little truck. In the owner’s manual under towing is not how much I can tow, but how to tow the truck behind a bigger vehicle.Maybe next time.Thanks for the comment!
How are you going with it so far?
OK, so it’s not going too well. I think I’m too flighty for this sort of project. I made one square, stared at it for about an hour then thought “hmmm…. if I kept crocheting around the edge this would make a cute little blanket for Amelie.” So, so far I have 0 granny squares BUT 1 cute little blanket for Amelie.
Haha! Excellent! Would love to see the blanket 🙂
My baby girl’s blanket so far has 6 squares, and my boy has 4 squares… they may have a blanket each by next winter 😉
Sounds like a good idea. Can’t wait to see the results 🙂
I’m thinking of starting another granny blanket project, after so many years since the first one … I’ll need luck too, because I tire of the stop-and-start rounds and binding off and attaching new colours after a while. And yes, I’ve just gone on crocheting around and around and ended up with a big blanket! Good luck with your project, and thanks for the follow!
