All things and bright and beautiful is a hymn that brings back lots of happy memories at primary school and it sorts of describes what I have been busy doing lately.It all started with a childrens kit in an attempt to recap on what I can do and to hopefully take my crochet skills a little further.
I decided to stick to the granny squares and keep going until I had used up all of the wool!! Daring or what?
For some reason blogger has tipped this picture, oh well. So I kept going and I know have 18 brightly coloured squares.
Know here is the million dollar question......what do I do with them? I might be lucky and find some wool similar in colour and make some more but at the time of starting just having a go was the main aim. Any ideas or suggestions? I had lots of relaxing fun making these and I am now ready to tackle the next page in the kiddie crochet book! Flowers or circles?

Such pretty squares. =-] I make a lot of grannys but I have the same problem I never know what to do with them when I'm done. So I just kinda leave them around. I do want to attempt a granny purse though. Good luck with your squares.
ReplyDeleteThese colors are so gorgeous! Oh! I could just jump into your picture and submerse myself in your granny squares....Yum!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful book that shows many, many ideas -- and actual patterns -- for granny squares is: Edie Eckman's CROCHET MOTIF.
I would find another coordinating color of wool, maybe even white, and add a round to each square, connecting them all into a blanket!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors too and I agree I think you should connect them and make a blanket!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours :)
ReplyDeleteYou say that you've got 18 squares. I do not know how big they are, byt what do you think of joining them all to make a pillowcase? 9 on one side and 9 on the other side. Joined together and perhaps with something fluffy or nice around the edges. That's my idea, at least :)
i'd say a bag or a pillow ? depending on how big they are.
