366 Granny Squares for 2012

Well today is day 366 of 2012

&

I have achieved the challenge that I set myself this time last year, which was to Crochet a Granny Square a day

I now have the most amazing blanket

Here are some of my favourite squares

Some which hold a special meaning and some which are simply lovely crochet squares

Some are Traditional Granny Squares and some are a variation on that theme....






Here are some "Traditional" Granny Squares

&
below is a slight variation on the "Traditional"


My Blood Drop Square - I gave blood that day and my blood group is B +


A Flower square


And a Valentines Square (the heart is on it's side due to my poor photo editing - sorry)


Again poor photo editing for my Leap Year Square


A Sunny Flower, which I probably made in class & transformed into my square for that day



A couple of more unusual flower squares

&

This is my Christmas Day Square



 The Dorset Flag Square commemorates the day I moved to Dorset


And this is my Wimbledon Tennis Square


I remember making this flower in a class that I was teaching that day.  I loved it so much that I had to "GAD" it



 Another class effort - Bavarian Crochet Square


And now for some squares with a difference....













And finally but unfortunately upside down.....


The Olympic Flame which passed through Blandford Forum
&
The Olympic Flag


And these squares are the ones that my Crochet Days Students made in class in September

I love these squares





And here it is!

A Granny Square a Day for 2012




A Square A Day for 2013 starts tomorrow!

  2. This is so cool! I decided to do the Granny-A-Day project this year, and that reminded me that I was trying to keep track of all your squares, so I went looking for your finished project. I LOVE how you have themed squares and squares based on the holidays. Your blanket turned out very beautiful, I love it! You're an inspiration--but I won't steal any of your ideas! :)
