Granny Blanket All Done!

Hello Friends...It's been a long summer and now that the kids are back to school, I'm happy to play a little catch up and present some show and tell.  I'm so happy to have finally completed my primary summer granny square project!  All squares joined and all ends weaved in. I love the simplicity of the classic granny square and especially the two round/two colour combination.

This blanket is approx. 40"x40", perfect for a baby blanket or also great as as lapghan.  Each square consists of two rounds of granny square, 12 across and 12 rows, a total of 144 squares.  I used Vanna's Choice yarn, by Lionbrand. It's a medium weight yarn with a recommended size 6 mm hook.  Looks like I have an potential buyer for this blanket, which I am so proud of.

May Recap

Hello Friends...I've been out for awhile, busy with life and recovering from a nasty chest cold. So, in an effort to bounce back and get strong, here's what I've been up to.  Happy Weekend!

Progress on my granny square blanket. I'm taking a break from making squares and have started to weave in those dreaded ends. I'm going with a single crochet join and I'm loving the way it's turning out.

Here are some recent blooms around the garden.  This is a new garden for us, as we moved in January, so we are having fun discovering what's out there.  Looks like an Azalea or Rhododendron shrub. I'm new to this flower, so I'm not exactly sure which is which, but the blooms are beautiful! 

First Iris bloom.

My neighbour's flowering tree.  These beauties didn't last long, but they were gorgeous while they lasted.
