Grannysquare Housewarming Gift

This was my biggest crochet project in 2013. I started this gift way back in sunny May, and I finished it just in time for Christmas.

This big blanket started off with just four little squares.

I crocheted at least ten a day.

I kept little bins of granny-squares all over the place. I even kept some in the car for me to edge while waiting at school pick-up.

I started crocheting the granny-squares together.

I made rows of twenty granny-squares. The blanket was starting to come together.

I marked the last few rows, and got ready to finish this project.

I had two sides to crochet together, and little bits of yarn to clip.

I finished the blanket just before Christmas.

Six months of crochet work, and four hundred granny-squares.

I loved how this blanket turned out.

Maybe I’ll make one for our house too. In another six months, or so…

Today We Clean

This week has been rough… We have been battling the stomach flu, and today I hope we are all feeling back to normal.

The house is a mess. The yucky-laundry needs to be done, but my energy levels are low. I’m going to try to make a dent in it today. I also need to take out all of the trash, I think I’ll rest a bit before I get to it.

Hope you are staying healthy this season… Better get to it.
