I’ve always fancied crocheting a giant granny blanket. Well this one is more newborn than giant size. It was a pleasure to do.
Just some mindless but very neat crochet.
Round and around and around.
Just one more round.
Go on, just another one.
That is how you end up going to bed far too late, several nights on the trot and wake up with a crochet hangover.
I did start a fancy edging but undid it and bordered it in a couple of rows of double crochet.
And I’ve started another.
I’ve one of these already for sale at my friends Etsy shop, Wool Couture.
Do you like how she has photographed it?
BTW do you like my goat jug? Only I am allowed to wash the goat jug.
It gets saved for cream to reduce accidental ear damage.
My daughter baked a Bakewell for the weekend. You’d be amazed how quickly the three of us can polish one off.
Love, Lucie x
You can’t beat a simple granny, love it and the goat.

I lLOVE the way she has photographed it! It looks so classy. I’ve been and favourited your blanket on her shop page. I also love the goat – I love novelty jugs, teapots etc. I have a couple of vintage teapots shaped like dogs.

Do you use them? I bought this at our local Sculpture Park gift shop. I couldn’t put it down.

Very nice! I hope it sells fast. 🙂 The new Granny square blanket is very nice, too – I know what you mean about addicitive “one more round” (or row, usually my case) and stripes seem to encourage it, don’t they? Just one more color change… 🙂 Tart looks delicious! I do believe you can all polish it off quickly.

We have to restrict her to making one a month. We could easily eat one EVERY weekend.

There are many, many items that I wish others would wash more often. Or at least place them in the dishwasher!

The edging on the blue/grey blanket works so well! Managed to finish the large granny square I was doing for a newborn and am quite missing it!

Love the blanket, love the goat, and really love Bakewell tart! I’m not so far away if there’s any spare next time you daughter bakes one 😀 pS the photos show your blanket off very well, and it looks great amongst all her other things for sale on Etsy. 😀

They are beautiful, I like that the grant square only had 3 colors and the bottom one is beautiful with those soft colors 🙂

The bakewell looks like something out of a magazine! My baking tastes nice but rarely looks as pretty as this. Your blanket sits very well in your friend’s shop and she’s styled it to fit in perfectly, so fingers crossed. Blankets are just great for mindless crochet, aren’t they? I really want to start another one but have got too many things on the go at the moment to even consider it.
