Hello, my name is Hazel and I'm a blanket-holic. I feel like I'm making loads of blankets and quilts. This one is a little bit of a love/hate project. It's incredibly dull making so many granny squares (252) in so few colours (5 colours in total and the yellow is only used for two squares!). I started it just over 8 days ago and I'm up to 130 squares. Pretty impressive for me, especially as I had an assignment due today!

I have to admit I'm not loving crocheting the brown. I thoguht I would get very bored with the blue but I actually didn't. There seemed to be a 'milestone' to aim for and everytime I hit one, another wasn't far away so it was easy to keep going. The brown though is another story, so I might break it up and do a bunch of reds after I finish my current ball.
Wondering what it is? Well, it's going to be this

And I couldn't finish this post without mentioning that Orla had a settling in session at nursery today for 1 hour. She insisted on wearing her uniform, which is a little long on her!

You're a fast crocheter. :-) Maybe you could take a second shade of brown.

Looking good!! All those squares is the one thing keeping me from making that Mario blanket. I'm impressed that you've gotten so many doen so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWOW! 130 squares in 8 days! That's an incredible amount of progress!
ReplyDeleteYou know I just saw that blanket when I was searching the Ravelry database for a stash-busting square project :) I LOVE Mario! You've done an incredible amount in a short amount of time. Can't wait to see it altogether :)
ReplyDeletethat's going to be an awesome blanket! i've seen the diagram & it looks like a lot of work & you are doing great! the girls are too cute! :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I expect I'll come to a bit of a halt when it comes to weaving the ends in. I hate that part.
