Slow Crochet Week

I have been busy  with sewing this week so that will have to wait for another post.  On the crochet front I have managed a blanket and pillow in a beautiful chunky red wool for the dolls pram along with a simple cotton throw with the old fashioned golly.

I have started a bigger project using granny squares, I think its easier in the warmer months to have something smaller.  A blanket using just 3 colours, I might add another colour in the border but that's a long way off yet.  I have done 24 squares so far but I will need 144,  so I don't need to decide right now.





 

The yarn is a Windermere wool rich aran which I really enjoy crocheting with, I am not using a pattern it is a bog standard granny square.  I do however work out the colours and quantities of squares prior to starting using a very old fashioned method - pen and paper.

 It suits me.  I understand you can do it on the computer but I wouldn't know where to start.  Not a great deal of crochet this week.  Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been getting on with by joining in the CAL with Chrissiechrissiecrafts.blogspot.co.uk/ and Marianneladybirddiaries.blogspot.co.uk/
