Oh how my nieces blanket has been a labour of
LOVE
My first and nearly almost my last granny sqaure blanket...all those ends to sew in!!
150 squares each with 4 colours...
But it has all been worth the effort
for the finished blanket is hopefully going to be well loved and much used by my niece L's.
It has been a project on the go for almost a year, despite several pokes I struggled to get the mojo to keep on after I put what I had together December 13 and realised it wasn't as big as I wanted it to be.
So more wool was ordered and when I found out that L's was off to UNI then it was the push I needed!!
So I finished it just in time for her to take with her on her BIG adventure to UNI.
Big enough to snuggle under on the sofa and just right to lay over a single size bed!
But what's that I hear you say?
*has she gone mad there's no photo?*
No you're tight I didn't get a photo of it finished!
I know, I know, I totally suck at before and after photos...
I wish I didn't but I do so lets not say too much more about it and move on...
please!
Onwards and upwards then
I have been busy.
Baskets have been sprayed, furniture painted, a cloth doll or two has been made and I have started another blanket!
Slowly I need to work my way through my requests list for blankets, with 6 kiddos it may take some time though.
The new blanket is for my #3 Lolly.
Colour choice is hers
to tie in with the colours in her room
the Ercol chair
pretty shelf
