It has been almost a year! Granny Square Blanket

Some of you may remember me posting this picture almost a year ago now.

Well, I had grand plans for this wool. I was going to make a blanket like this one Matt created here. I did not get very far! I only managed 168. I did enjoy making the little granny squares and at times it was like a production line. However, in the back of my mind all I could think about was the task of sewing them together. I will sew together the squares I have made at some point to make a mini version of what Matt made. I take my hat off to him as it would have taken so much work to create what he created. 

I have found another use for all the wool I bought and have started to make a ripple blanket.

I found this fantastic pattern here I made the bag in one evening.  I Love it as it fits my work diary in and what is even better is it is coordinated!!! The only thing that is missing from the pattern is where to position the darts, but it was easy to work out where they went.

So that was my Stampin' Up! sewing project last night..... This will be my ongoing crochet project, the wool has been ordered and it arrived this morning, all 36 balls of it! The plan is to make a massive blanket. I taught my daughter this weekend how to make the small ( three round ) granny squares, so hopefully she will give me a little bit of help. I have no idea at this point how many squares will be involved, I am just going to keep going until I have used all the wool up. I have estimated it will probably take me all year.
