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!
This is a truly awesome achievement - you have far more stamina than I. Happy New Year, missus!!
ReplyDeleteThis 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! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaleigh - You can steal any ideas you like - it's good to inspire others! I can't wait to see some photo's of your squares! Ali x
