Grand Granny Recipe: Take many skeins of chunky acrylic (ones you will never make anything out of) from you stash…let stand at room temp. until you decide the crochet hook size you will need to use. Go to the Lion Brand Yarns site and print out the Grand Granny Square Afghan pattern…read directions and start it on Sunday afternoon.
I really felt the need to put my knitting down to relax my hands for a few days as they were starting to hurt…but I just can’t sit and do nothing. So…it’s crochet for a few days. Let’s see how long it will take me to make up this Grand Granny Square into a size to fit on our bed. Very country colors. Ok…I love natural fibers, but natural fibers on my bed with my dh and our Boxer would not work…use up all that acrylic for a very washable, made with love coverlet for our country cabin.
Fingers crossed I’ll finish it by this weekend (will I run out of chunky acrylics first? )
You know, I love crocheting and I love Granny Squares.I know they’re not trendy right now…but I don’t care. I love the blanket you’re making. What fun. If nothing else, crocheting is definitely easier on the hands.
Great poncho too! You’re so productive…I’m in awe. Between your job, your family and farm…how do you knit so much?!
I hope you have a good week!
If you run out of acrylic I could always send you some in your next package. Heh heh… >:]
I’ve been away in Lake Chelan for a week and just got caught up on your blog; love the poncho. Happy birthday-30th? And most of all, I love, love, love, the chickens. If I could knit me a chicken I would.
I was wondering where you go for the “knit group” that you mentioned? I know of 4 women who meet at the Border’s in Puyallup-I went there once; they’re lovely women.
