I Didn't Forget About You!

This is a crochet project I started well over a month ago and I swear I didn't forget about it! I just got side tracked with other craft ideas, school, life, and...umm...ok fine, I'll be honest! I just lost some motivation, but don't worry, I got it back and I started working on it again by sewing the squares together.

Progress is slow but it's still going!

As I was lining up my granny squares, I notice some of them were slightly bigger than the others.  I guess this is due to  the uneven tension of the stitches since my crochet skills aren't up to par yet, but once I sewed them together it looked ok. I still need to make more squares...which is the most tedious part of this project. Let's hope I can keep my motivation going. Wish me luck!

I hope your projects are going more productively than mine!

Happy Crafting!

Granny Square Blanket

I started on a new crochet project: Granny square blanket. I've been learning how to make granny squares from this website, Granny Square How To. The instructions are easy to understand with step by step photos.

So colorful!

I didn't have a color scheme to go with so I just went with "no-color scheme"which works nicely. I'm using many colors and making different combinations. I'm playing with different tones, complimentary colors, and adjacent colors. It's a lot of fun and  I love how it's turning out so far. The colors are so cute! I still need to make some more squares and sew them together into a blanket. Keep checking for updates!
