Well, I've certainly fallen out of this blogging lark! Once you get out of the habit it's really hard to get back in. That's not to say I haven't been making anything, but I'm really enjoying cardmaking at the moment, which means only occasional forays into needlework.
Anyway on to the WIPs in question:
Red, white and blue crochet blanket
Very little progress to report here. I've completed all of the white-edged squares and have started filling in the gaps with blue. Still quite a few to go though.
Progress has been slow for a very good reason...
...I started a new blanket! I know, I know, but this one is special as it's to be a gift for my husband's cousin who just had a baby about a month ago. I've made really good progress considering how long the RWB blanket has been under construction.
The blanket will be a very generous 1 and a bit metres by 90cm, so hopefully baby won't outgrow it too soon. That's 10 x 9 rows of granny squares. I've crocheted all 90 and am now joining the squares together:
I also found lots of other UFOs, which should give me plenty of fodder for future WIP Wednesday posts!
It's nice to see your blog reports again. You've made great progress on both blankets, and I wish I were a baby and could sleep under such a beautiful Granny Square blanket. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's good to be making progress.
