Crochet Along Granny Square Blanket. TA-DAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading some blogs on the web i discovered Crochet along (CAL) and thought they sounded good and that i would try one. After searching the net i found one that had started the day before. This was back at Easter. It would be a Granny square blanket with 99 Square and we would be given 3 squares a week to work on. The site is www.knotyournanascrochet.com. 

Each week if we posted pictures of our squares we got entrance to a draw, the prize was to pick a pattern from the sites patterns for sale. So for the first 20 or so weeks i posted most weeks but unfortunately i never won anything.

I even managed to Crochet with baby Fred lying on me!

Once i have quite a few squares i started to put them together.

 I used a Single crochet (us terms) to join them together and really liked the effect. I had finished every square in a lime green wool that for some reason i had about 8 balls of so i knew i would all match.

After i had done 64 squares i decided to stop as i wanted the blanket for over the back of my couch and it was the right size.

So here it is  TA-DAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 I don't have a great picture, but this one shows the shell edging i did.

I love this blanket, as the weather is starting to get colder i have been snuggled up under it most evenings whilst sat watching telly and knitting baby things. It really does make me feel happy and snugly and warm. Last night i even took it up to bed with me and even the hubby admitted it made a huge different and he didn't want to get up this morning it was so warm, he has now requested that it stays there for the winter!.

The CAL is still going on for another few weeks so head over there and have a look x

Byes xxxx
