I would have never thought that crocheting granny squares would be something I'd like to do. That's why to date I have been neglecting the (actually very beautiful and amazing) granny square patterns and instruction videos from eliZZZa on nadelspiel.com. But now my stack of wool and yarn is just getting too big and with most of the stuff I don't really know what to do. That's why I came up with the idea of using it all to make granny squares and eventually a big patchwork blanket. I got inspired by blankets I saw on the page of the Nadelspiel Club and decided: I want to have a blanket like that, too!
For now I took 4 colors and made grannies and when I'm done with those colors I will take the next ones. Getting it too colorful and chaotic is too much, I think. By now I have completed 8 squares. 5 were crocheted after instructions by eliZZZa, 2 after instructions of members of the Nadelspiel community (Chikuchiku and Lila) and 1 I even created myself (the one in the upper right corner).
And I really have to admit, it is sooooooooooo much fun to crochet granny squares! It's an exciting way to try out new patterns and color combinations and in no time you have a finished object holding in your hands. Absolutely great, I am sooo thrilled!!!
My sweater is slowly growing also. It should be about 45 cm by now, so the "boring" part is almost over :-)
There are no pictures of it at the moment since it hasn't really changed that much from the last picture I posted. Hopefully I will soon have the time and heart to knit a whole evening in order to get more done than a few rows and to finally see some progress :-)
