This is what the finished granny squares look like for my project. There's a real pile of 'em so far! I just counted number of squares on the inspiration piece and it looks like I'll still need to make 15-20 more! I don't mind, though, because I love the soft pastel colors I'm using.
In case you love these colors, too and would like to use them for a project of your own, I'm using Lily Sugar & Cream cotton yarn. The multi color ball is color number 19016, and the creamy one is color number 01004.
So, I've put all the squares and supplies into a handy basket that I can carry around with me at home. I added my (g) hook and a small pair of scissors and now I'm all set to crochet at night while I sit in my favorite spot.I had to giggle reading your comments from yesterday's post. I already told you it's not going to be an afghan. So, here's another hint: It's not going to be a shawl either. (hee hee) Tomorrow, I'll reveal what I'm working on. I just can't leave y'all hanging. (Well, I could - but I won't! giggle)
I went back into the studio yesterday and started working on the Summertime quilt again. I had already assembled the long element for the caramel swirl blocks, so I squared up the half square triangles so I can put together those blocks next.After the caramel swirl blocks are finished, I'll join them with the checkboard blocks to make up the finished blocks. I'd love to have this quilt top finished in time for our guild meeting next Tuesday.
Let's see...If I work on the quilt during the day and the crocheted grannie squares at night...hmmm. I might finish both projects before the end of next week! Let's hope I have the concentration. Setting a goal always helps me. How 'bout you?
Oh, you are a tease! Goals are good, deadlines are even better:) Twyla

Now you have really piqued my interest on what the granny squares will be made into!!
ReplyDeleteTried to comment yesterday, blogger.
ReplyDeleteI love these colors, thanks for the numbers.
Now you have me stumped. Don't have any idea what these lovelies will turn out to be.
hugs,

Seems there might be a blogger issue. Couldn't access any earlier today.....LOVE your colors, Donna! I can't wait to see your project.
ReplyDeleteHi, Donna! It's good to hear from you. I'm reading backwards - so bear with me. LOL I am loving those granny squares - the colors are so delicate. And that quilt motif is spectacular, too! Can't wait to see both of your finished projects! Theresa
ReplyDeleteDonna, waiting with baited breath to see what your crochet squares will be! Lovely colors. Your blog looks very nice. I am into crocheting lots of different granny squares with bright colors for the Spring.
ReplyDeleteI LUV the grannie squares. I've not thought of doing these squares with the Sugar Cream cotton...this is a wonderful idea!

Oh I love crochet. The memories that it conjures up for me is so wonderful. Thanks for making my heart smile tonight.
ReplyDeleteI love these colors, Donna and am curious too, about what the 'project' is!!
ReplyDeleteI admire your talents so very much and so happy to see we have the love of crochet in common♥
Hugs,
Lynn♥
Donna - I love the colors you are using for your grannie squares!!! And even though I have crocheted for many, many, many years, I have never thought of using Sugar and Cream for crocheting. I make a lot of dish cloths from the Sugar and Cream but no crocheting!! I love it!! What size hook do you use? Kris
ReplyDeleteHello Donna, I love your granny squares, I have tried to find out how you have made them, could you please sent me the pattern.
ReplyDeleteBest regards
