Last fall, I taught myself how to crochet. (Actually, I knew how to crochet as a teen but this was a long forgotten skill.) I bought a lots of 25g balls of cotton yarn and went on to make 169 granny squares.
We had our annual beach vacation in May. Typically, I bring along my sewing machine but this year, I decided to start the assembly process. It was a bit of a trial and error process for me but I am finally sort-of figured it out.
And I'm loving the way it looks. I've got 28 different colors to play with. Right now, I'm busy attaching the 7th row.
Having a handwork project at the beach turned out to be just perfect. I could sit on the deck and enjoy the view and still create.
Have a wonderful day!

Sounds like you had a great time and what a fun photo of you with the granny squares and the ocean behind you!
ReplyDeleteNice! Love seeing how you've worked on something other than quiltmaking. The variety of craft options is just so wonderful! I want to dabble in everything! I'm happy to say I can still fairly easily crochet, as I recently round loom knitted a shawl that required crocheting around the edge. Your afghan is going to be so pretty, and colorful! I'm sure you're excited about seeing it to a finish. And then, will you start another crochet project?
