Granny Square Love

I love these colours!
Now I want to make a lap blanket
with these exact colours
in granny squares too!
I found this over on
Color 'n Cream Blog

A Time for Granny Squares

I'm not sure there is a certain specific
time for making granny squares.
SO, because
 I like to change the colours of my yarns
to fit the seasons.

I thought this granny square looked very Halloween'ish!
I'm motivated to maybe make a small lap throw
using only these four colours!
Hopefully in time for Halloween!

How bout you?

I really like it with the white boarder too!

Just a Little Crocheting

I started out with trying to crochet a simply 8 x 8...
it sorta has grown.

I'm not certain I like this lighter blue.

I'm not sure how much more I shall add to this...

Good Things...

Hallo Friends!
I am so inspired to make
these pants!
Granny Squares
are a good thing to crochet!

My Grandson makes me smile!
I'm so glad my daughter takes
such good pictures of him,
and shares them with me!

The ripple effect is good!

Cheers~

Tea Cozy Sorta Weekend

One tea cozy complete.

With cooler weather approaching, I've decided to make
several teapot cozies for the fall/winter.

I've decided to take scenic routes to my daughters house,
up in Maryland, from Virginia.
This is just one view from the 301.

Me and my wee Grandson!

Crocheted Gifts

My son liked his Birthday football beanie. He turned 21 yesterday! Where did all the time go?
Pattern for this beanie can be found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/soft-football-chemo-hat

Time for me to join these granny square together!  I am using  a very cool method. Tutorial for this method can be found at the site: http://carinascraftblog.wardi.dk/2009/06/granny-square-joining-tutorial.html

The Arrival of Fall Weather...finally!

So far, this is how many Granny Squares I've made, YTD. My daily challenge is still working!

What with having just moved to the east coast of Virginia, I've been very anxious for a 'change' in weather!
Living in paradise (not complaining) has it's advantages. However, I'm looking forward to the dramatic change of weather, that the east coast will offer!

I had started with fewer branches in previous picture. I like  the fuller look best.

One such occurrence has finally happened. Cooler weather; FALL.
So, I was so motivated to decorate my mantel yesterday.

Simple colour.

Daily Crochet Challenge

I've start two new challenges for myself.
One: Crochet a square everyday. I have wanted to crochet this wonderful blanket that Attic 24 shared on her blog here: http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/summer-garden-granny-square.html
So far I'm right on track!

Natasha doesn't think much about my granny squares. She only has 'Scooby  snacks' on her mind!!
