Colourful crafty things.....

    A little progress has been made on the granny blanket, but I'm now down to the scraps and in desperate need of some more yarn. Oh what to do?! can't really justify buying new yarn at the moment, so will probably concentrate of my other wips in the meantime. Shame though cos this is really fun to do, and I'm lovin' seeing it grow, but hey-ho :)

      Beautiful and sure would like a tip how did you put it together?
      I just made ffor the first time from scraps 29 grannie squires. Most are the same size but a couple of 4 or 5 are a little smaller.
      I don'even know how to put them together.
      This one will go to hospice too # 14 and than I am starting for myself for a change.
      It is so addictive I love making them.
      Still have lots of yarn that I ordered 6 months ago.

      It's a shame you have to wait for more yarn because it's looking absolutely wonderful :o)

      It looks beautiful and you really have to get more wool. It's far too nice to leave to the side!!
      Is that book Scandinavian Stitches any good. I've had it on my wish list for a while?

      Thanks..!! :) I think the book is a really good buy, the projects inside are lovely. I hope to master the art of applique at some point, as it's such a wonderful craft. The cover of the book is so attractive, I'm sure you agree? I just had to have it :)

      This is a beautiful blanket. You must have some more yarn to finish it. What yarn were you using? Love the colours.
