I am going to start with the fact that I have added a further Tutorial (free) to the collection, so go and take a look by clicking here
Now for
Day #5 of Granny A Day 2012
Here it is!
And here are the 5 squares that I have made in total so far
I think I mentioned yesterday, that I have a Granny Square Addiction since starting Granny A Day 2012.
It's not only creating and seeing my own squares, but everyone else's too!

SO
Drastic action had to be taken and I have embarked on an epic crochet journey - yes - to make a giant Granny Square by whatever means - yarn and colour wise, possible. So if I start a row and can't finish it in the colour I started with, then I will just be continuing in another colour! That hasn't happened so far but it might do as the rows progress and as they get larger!
Here is the Giant Granny W.I.P. so far!
And if you haven't had enough excitement already there's more!
I don't know whether to blog about it now
or leave it till tomorrow?
OK
I will blog about it now
MY NEW YARN STASH HAS ARRIVED
I was so excited when I saw the postman carrying a big squidgy parcel up the garden path, I could have kissed him!
Here they are
If you have followed my crochet blog for a while now, you'll know that I love bold colours and rainbow colours too, so with that in mind, and for a change from the bolder colours that I have recently worked in, I have toned down this selection
Although, as you can clearly see, I have sneaked in a lovely purple and a vibrant red
These are complimented by various soft blues, an olive green
some dusky pinks
and yellows inspired by herb & fruit colours
I bought 17 balls in all and these will add to the colours already used in my Granny A Day project
Love the colours !! Where do you buy ? x Deb
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, I got them on EbaY. They are by Stylecraft, a yarn maker that I love. Even though they are acrylic they are very soft and easy to wash too!
ReplyDeleteI made my 5 granny squares today to catch up. My plan is to get tomorrow's made and then get a picture and my blog post up that I am participating with your button and such...and will add the button to my sidebar as well.
ReplyDeleteI did a search to find the instructions...I have them now. I don't really like how each square ends but I know that once I put them together it will look fine.
I think I am also going to put them together as I go too.
Wow Marsha - that's fab! I can't wait to see your pictures. Do let me know when you post them as it's harder work than I thought keeping up with everyone's photo's on here, on twitter and on Ravelry - I didn't think that this Granny A Day 2012 would be so popular!! Hope you have a great crocheting day. Ali
