One hundred and eighty granny circles complete. They are colourful, vibrant and each one unique.
So begins the white borders and piecing them together...
Throughout this journey with each circle I am thinking of our little girl, with this blanket covering her bed. I am thinking about tucking her in at night, reading books to her on her bed, comforting her while she is sick. This blanket is an absolute pleasure to create.
LOVE it!!!! What awesome colours and the white around them looks like it will just enhance the colours :D
ReplyDeleteME TOO!! Thats the plaaaaaannn!! ;)
DeleteI love that as we craft we put love, thoughts and prayers into the process and so the final product is so much more than yarn cleverly stitched it is a container of our love and care. A tangible piece of love.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be beautiful x
I am so feeling that Miriam! x
DeleteLooking fab! And I love what Miriam said 'a tangible piece of love.'
ReplyDeleteIt seems we have both been making things for our daughters to snuggle under (although yours is a bit more impressive than mine!)
I love the colours and can't wait to see it when it's finished.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so stunning! I really look forward to seeing the finished blanket. She is going to treasure this blanket one day!

Awesome! I am just getting in to crochet and love it. Love the look of your blog too... will have to have a closer look!
ReplyDeleteImpressive Sophie! Can't wait to see the finished project! I have a friend who likes to crochet presents for people and she says as she crochets, she is praying for the person receiving her gift. Miriam's comment reminded me of that. x
ReplyDeleteWow! I love how handmade things are made with a piece of our soul. It's truly special. She'll take it with her when she leaves home perhaps, it might even cuddle her own children and keep them warm too... <3
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the finished blanket - its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This is what making is all about...love. x
ReplyDeleteGood effort Soph!! I'm so glad you stuck with it!
ReplyDeleteThose colours look great together, I bought some crochet hooks the other day, so you have inspired me.
