Tadaaah!!

Sorry for this incredibly boring title, but I really did feel like using it!

It’s been more than a week since my last post, but don’t worry, everything is absolutely fine up here. I’ve just been working very hard to finish my blanket.

As much as I like to crochet, I don’t like to sew together the squares, and there were just so many of them.

And there is a little surprise for you! 250 Little squares is not enough to make a good sized blanket, so I came up with this idea:

Instead of circles of 3 rounds, I made circles of 7 rounds, and then made them into squares.

There wasn’t a real plan of putting the blanket together, I started by sewing together a few small squares, adding a large one, and making larger blocks this way. This way the blanket ‘grew’ and the colours were used totally at random.

The border is kept very simple: one round of single crochet, one round of double crochet.

All these happy colours are now brightening up our living room; I just have the odd feeling they are asking for some matching pillows.

Groetjes, Dorien
