The Weekend

Generally, the weekends contain my main chunks of time to work on projects, particularly large ones that I can’t tote around with me anymore due to their sizes. That being said, and this week being my spring break, I plan on knocking out some serious yarn work.

Those 499 granny’s daughters from Foto Friday — over one hundred of them got their tails tied in this weekend at SO’s house. Sometimes it’s just best for everyone that the boyfriend wants to play Skyrim. I plan on doing another 50 or so this evening before heading to bed. The more diversity I can get into my bag labeled “Tied-In Granny’s Daughters,” the better. I’d really like to enter this blanket into the county fair this year, but in order to that, I have got to get a move on.

Pictures soon!

Foto Friday: 499 Granny Squares

They’re actually granny’s daughters (one-round granny squares), but there are still almost 500 tails to weave in on these bad boys before I can stitch them all together. So, nothing to show off today that’s finished, but 500 squares are 500 squares. Click for more info.

I Can Sew!

I decided that I was going to learn to sew together squares tonight. I’ve actually put together four or five so far, but then I ran out of the colors that I needed next. That’s the basic pattern for the whole blanket, though. I think it’s quite lovely.
