I am going to start Day 10 with a Giant Granny Square update
& here it is!
I am currently on row 38.
I try to add a row or two a night, although that's getting tougher time wise as the rows get bigger!
Now this is Granny Square 10
And here are all 10 Squares together as I am doing the "Join as you go method"
(see Free Tutorials if you want to learn this way of joining squares)
I am not too worried about blocking any of the squares as the blanket is going to be enormous once all 366 are joined together!
I went to the fabric shop on a whim today as I was passing by, so I stopped and picked up a remnant of cream fabric to line my large circular basket with. I have been wanting to do this for some time as the wool occasionally snags on the wicker.
So out came my trusty Singer Sowing Machine - bought about 20 years ago from a Charity Shop for what I thought and still think was a bargain at £30 - and I got to work.
I roughly measured the diameter, cut out a circle of fabric after marking around the base with a marker & got hemming!
TAH DAHHHH
My basket is now lined & my wools are now nice and cosy and snag free!!
Love the HUGE Granny. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteI updated my blog with pictures. You can see them here at www.flossesandcrosses.blogspot.com
Thanks for sharing.
I too love the large granny. All the color changes would be awful without your join as you go technique for granny squares. Love that by the way.
ReplyDeleteI too have been busy on this project - Total is 12 so I'm 1 ahead of schedule. Now my squares are going to be wonky because I'm using scraps. I have one square that uses 5 different colors.
Thanks for hosting this challenge - it keeps me on my toes.
