Week one update on my crochet blanket!! What do you think? Isn’t it amazing? Apart from the loose ends of thread that I haven’t tidied up yet (I’ll get to them when I start putting the squares together) I am in LOVE with this.
In all fairness, this has taken a lot longer than I thought it would…. but after working on this every night for a week while watching the telly, I’m so proud of how many squares I have managed to crochet. 48 squares!!
It is a fun project and if you are like me and you can’t sit still, this is the perfect side project to pick up for those days or evenings where you are feeling lazy and you just want to lounge. At least now, I am ‘lounging’ but also creating at the same time!
I am loving the colour combination in this, it feels modern with the white and the greys but still retro and vintage since it has that olivey green, it will look amazing in my living room when I finish. Or maybe, I will put it at the end of my bed. Haven’t gotten that far yet……
Not sure on how the above should be laid out yet. At the moment, it’s been put together as a collection of 6 ( 3 by 2 ) and then repeated for the entire row. Then, on the next row down, I have offset it by one and then done the exact same combination as the row above. What do you think? Should I offset it or just keep it the exact same through all the rows……?? Decisions, decisions….luckily, I have still have a bit of a way to go before I need to start thinking about that.
