these are the crochet squares I started during the Olympics.
slowly slowly they joined together, growing some more during the winter olympics and then during the commonwealth games. it's definitely been a sports watching blanket.
getting bigger and bigger, with a few rows of granny edging
to make a border
and finally a scalloped edging to finish it off.
just in time for snuggling up, apparently there's a storm coming, and I do love to watch the wind and rain lash down when I'm all warm and cosy inside x
thank you for all the kind comments on my last post, baking updates to follow xxx
It is lovely, I really like the colour combinations that you chose, and the green for the border too! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely and snuggly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful calm colours X
ReplyDeleteOh, it is so beautiful.I wish that I were able to do as well. I do love the greens and the other colors...the purple pinkish hues. What could be better for being cozy and warm with both color and the true warmth of a loving and lovely blanket? (do forgive me if i have misspelled and words are so not what they should be..still struggling with the eyes.) And such goodness that you have made this yourself. What is better than that?
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous blanket with such lovely colours. It looks very cosy, excellent for snuggling under.

ReplyDeleteThe blanket is wonderful, love the colours xxx
Oooh Tess -- it's beautiful! I LOVE the colors!

It's so pretty, Tess. I love the colors and the randomness of it. Just beautiful, well done.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful, just right for this time of year. I love it when there are memories associated with things I make as well. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful T, I love it. Blankets are such an Olympic task. I confess I have two unfinished. Well done you! J x
ReplyDeleteLovely blanket :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours you chose. Stay cozy in the storm.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful blanket, Tess! I love the colours and the way you did the edging. Keep cosy and have a good week.

Those colours are beautiful, well done you for getting it finished. It's getting a bit breezy up here in the North so enjoy your snuggly blanket.
ReplyDeleteyes it's been breezy here that's for sure! definitely blanket weather x
DeleteThats beautiful, such lovely colours
ReplyDeleteOoh it's beautiful! Enjoy snuggling under it! Xx
ReplyDeleteThat blanket is really, really lovely. But the best thing is how you know what you were doing when you started it. I like the way these long term projects tell a story as they accompany us through life. x
ReplyDeleteOooo... this is LOVELY, Tess... LOVE the colors! A very happy, cosy blanket. I like the simplicity of the granny border, blending in with the rest of the blanket, and then that hint of "lace" with the scallop edge--delightful! There's just something so comforting and calming about working a a granny stitch anything, isn't there? Perfect blanket for now. It's been bucketing down with rain here for two weeks... I've got yarn for a blanket to make too. ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! And a memory keeper too. Happy snuggling x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous colours :) Your blanket looks soooo snuggly :) You really can't beat good old granny squares, can you :)

Crochet squares do take a time to join all together but aren't the results worth it. Lovely colours.
ReplyDeleteLooking gorgeous Tess. I love blanket making gradually over time and like others have said all of the memories that get caught up with the stitches x
ReplyDeleteI am new here! Hello! I love your blanket. Such wonderful colours. What yarn did you use?
