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…
