Granny Squares crocheted afghan. Finished this up a few weeks ago and went to the park for some nice fall outdoor photo shoot with blanket in hand {in the bright sunlight of the cold day}. A multi-colored blanket, using wool yarn 4-ply worsted weight and a hook size F. I added the same color border to each block red, then I also crocheted them together with red. I think it makes it look almost like quilt blocks that way. The I did the three color border which I think just really finishes the project off nicely. This is a nice rectangle to use as a blanket to cuddle with.

I know, lots of photos, but after you've hooked this many stitches...it felt justified. I think the slide worked nice for a prop, the ground was a little wet. Lots of hours in this, time to think and dream and a usefulness with my hands. I thank God for giving me so many hobbies that I enjoy and that are useful too.
Blessings, Michelle
What a beautiful blanket. The colours are gorgeous and the border (in my favourite colour) finishes it off perfectly. Congratulations.

Very nicely done. I love the pattern and your colors. Makes a big difference when making photos outside as opposed to inside. So bright and clear.
ReplyDeleteReady just in time Michelle for some extra coziness this winter!
