Today I am happy to share with you all my granny stripe blanket. I have completed it in February. I have started this blanket to use my local yarn from my stash. Out of curiosity one afternoon in september 2016 I have started to do it. It started to grow nicely row by row. I have decided to do one row a day. But that limit goes than 5 rows a day. When I used all colors in my stash the first set contains 33 stripes (a stripe contains 2 rows). I have done 93 stripes repeating the first 33 stripes again in the same order. Now the blanket in all its glory.
I have used local brand acrylic yarn with 4 mm hook. It took 15 mins to crochet 1 row. The blanket fits a double bed. This is the second blanket I have crocheted. I am happy with the final outcome of the blanket. Also, I have added a a simple dc edging around the blanket. It is simple and neat. I am writing this post in a hurry. So that's all for now. I have joined the crochet quilt blocks. Now I have to add some edging to it. After that I will come up with that.
Now on my embroidery hoop is the smalls SAL for March. Some backstitches have to be done. Will be finishing it this weekend. I will come up with the march fairy and the epp pincushion in my next post. Till then happy crocheting.
