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!

GAD 209 - Olympic Special


Well what can I say about making a commemorative Granny Square for today
The first day of the 
London Olympics 2012



So this is what I made - a White Granny Square
Which is obviously the background colour of the Olympic Flag



As you can see in the image above
All you have to do is imagine a flag
And Hey Presto
You have it!



LoL
Not really folks
You know me better than that don't you?

So here is my REAL
GAD 209

To commemorate the Olympic Games 2012 LONDON - UK
