Squares Finished!

Hi there!

Thanks for your lovely comments about the Scavenger Hunt, it's been great fun trying to interpret the things.  I've also found some great new blogs too.

I see I've got up to 70 followers which is fantastic!  
Thanks to everyone for popping in.

Well, that snow that I was hoping for last week didn't come although school was shut on Monday!  There was a power failure and it was dark and absolutely freezing, so I did have a peaceful day all by myself, pottering around the house doing things.

On Friday I took the yarn I dyed into Miju Wools in Gloucester.
My bagful of sock yarn.
75% Blue Faced Leicester and 25% Nylon.
Some squishy soft laceweight.
Extra Fine Merino 70% and 30% Silk.
 It was bitterly cold in Gloucester, as in the whole of the UK.   We had snow yesterday afternoon and evening.  DS played outside, but me and Mr Clicky Needles got tucked up in front of the fire and watched the Rugby Internationals.  I sewed in some ends at the same time.
Much better!
No sign of the snow now though, it came and went.

I am very pleased to announce that I have finished all of the squares for my Summer Granny.
Waaaayyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!
 I've decided to join the squares by crocheting through the back loop.  Good Attic 24 tutorial here.
It's surprisingly difficult to not get similar colours next to each other whilst joining and I need all the squares laid out to make it easier.  I'll have to put the squares away though as I suspect that Mr CN and the Dyson will find the living floor covered in squares all week annoying.

So that's about it for this week.

As always have fun....................Clicky Needles.

  4. Hi Cath, They look great. Try a quilters trick...pin the squares all in order onto an old sheet and then you can move them easily when necessary. Looking forward to seeing the blanket..next meeting??
