I started this throw/blanket a couple of years ago and for some reason didn't really get going on it. I have now decided to replace some of the throws and cushion covers in the lounge room so this is the perfect time to get going with it again.
It is arran wool which is beautiful to crochet with and will be lovely and soft to use in the lounge when finished. Yes I am saying finished, I am feeling motivated at the moment but if I flag a little joining this party will help keep me focused.
I haven't made a plan yet. I haven't a clear idea of how many granny squares I need to commit to each week. I am hoping that as I get familiar with how I want the throw to evolve it will become clearer in my mind.
My first job is to try and decipher the original scribble and plan and then I can move on. All that said I actually love the yarn, I love the colours and I want a new throw so why did I abandon it in the first place?
See you soon.
Oh, it happens and to most of us. I unearthed a ball of multi coloured Aran weight yarn and could not understand why i bought it. Now I have a hat and scarf I am planning a jumper or cardigan, I love the colour combination of turquoise/yellow/gold/orange with a dash of plum here and there.

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are joining the celebration, too, Mama! I still as yet have not crocheted a proper granny square although I admire the ones you are making. It will be fun to see how many squares it takes to make your blanket, and how you end up arranging them. I'm cheering you on! xx
