Something with Granny squares, I decided.
And then I saw this over at Wisecraft's blog and I was smitten:
Love the colours.
Love the styling of the photo, too.
And I thought, THAT's my project.
So, after mastering the pattern (easy-peasy) I am off in a world of granny-goodness.
One thing is for sure, I am addicted to these little beauties, they are blissfully therapeutic to make, and I love seeing them grow into a little stack.
Wish me luck...
Oh, and one more thing, here's something else I've been enjoying making:
Available now in my Etsy shop.
Happy week to you all!

Love the rings. It's really funny but that first granny square in pink, brown,yellow and cream is the same as what I've been working on for a blanket using only those four colours. It has been going on for while though - seems to take me for ever! Liz xx

You may start with a cushion but it won't be long before you start a blanket... It's addictive.

Grannies are just so addictive. They're also very therapeutic and great to do in front of the telly as it's pretty mindless. Before you know it, you'll have a huge stack of them :)

Hi there! thanks for your lovely comments on my blog after my rather long blog break! I love that cushion, but can never seem to get my act together to co-ordinate all those different wool colours! I am currently making one of these (http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2011/4/16/elegant-granny-style-the-granny-stripe-blanket.html) for my eldest son...he may have left home before i finish it!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely. Love the colours you chose. Why did I think you had already made one of these? I have been making a granny blanket (not squares) forever! Can't pick it up in summer as it is too warm. It is now the size of a double bed width ways. Look forward to picking it up when it gets colder, keep my old knees warm! He he. Happy granny squaring.
ReplyDeleteRings are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteI like this granny pattern too! The last round done in white looks great with your colors, and those rings are really lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the rings and the ushion is looking lovely! So fun ! Can't wait to see the final product :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cushion...very striking!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you granny squares or rounds are so versatile. They are the backbone of crochet!
Oh dear I feel a granny square coming on :-)

Aaaah the granny addiction begins! Yours are looking particularly gorgeous too!! I bet you find it hard to stop at a cushion - before you know it you'll be sweltering under the weight of a giant blanket. Have fun with it no matter what size you go for. Love your rings too hon. Clever gal.
ReplyDeleteHave a fab week,

ReplyDeleteThis is going to be so pretty. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWow, those are fantastic rings! I'm feeling very wanty now...your grannies are yummy, too--gorgeous pastels. :)
ReplyDeleteI made a small pillow with these same granny squares. Love how quick they are to work up. I can't believe you've only been crocheting for 18 months -- I learned about 26 years ago and still can't figure out every pattern I come across. :) Have a great day! Tammy
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the grannies.... they are so much fun and I like the idea of not having to think too much when I am crocheting them. The rings are awesome! I also love your Knights and Ninjas... You have been pretty busy during your holidays.
ReplyDeleteTake care and keep playing with those awesome grannies.... Love your color choices.

Hi. I really like this starburst pattern. I'm soo glad I found it. Looking at your pillow I noticed that those g.squares with a darker 3rd color "burst" outwards more vibrantly than the g.squares where the 3rd color is a lighter color (soft pink for example). So I'm going to try to remember this tip when I start to make my starburst granny squares. Happy Crocheting! ...gamzulatova@live.com
