The granny blacket for my daughter is finished and I truly hope you will like it. During my time at home (due to my little "meeting" with the pavement!) I had al lot of time on my hands. Between people visiting me en me trying to manage by myself I had lots of time to lay out the squares (and change the order a lot of times), finishing the ends, sewing the squares together (thank you bunny mummy for your lovely tutorial) and then finishing of with a border grannystyle.<br />
<br />
I'm curios what you all will think of my granny blancket.<br />
<br />
Here it is...<br />

I got this beautifull orchid from a dear friend. She gave it to me because of my sore foot....isn't that nice...;p<br />
<br />
Love, love, love that colour fushia.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow I'm off to the doctor to get rid of my cast, hopefully I'll be out of it as we're planning a weekend (in 2 weeks) away in celebration of my liberation (hihihi).<br />
<br />
Hope you all will enjoy the lovely weather this weekend and hope i'll be up and about next week.<br />
<br />
CC'ya....;p<br />

here is a little update on my granny square blacket. Whenever I have a little time I take my crochet to make yet another granny square. I know the colours are a very bright, I would say fluorecent (and they are!!) but it's what my daughter ordered. She a lovely bright girl who's off in a couple of months. She's moving in with her boyfriend and I wanted to give her a little something to remind her of me. I'm dreading the day she's moving out but i'm keeping up a strong face.......... And I also had a bit of bad luck (more about that further on). Time to reflect :<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_o124kL_xaTtbtkAZI6oLRigHWKieem0ZYn10jq1EROU0y-68n1g1qtoclGJwpO-ooyjhv9auW8xDKzeAeN4XbR3cPZjpdQtx6ONhHvkpq5BcD6jFHVfOFnN-h5vModsdTGBf9SLE00/s1600/IMG_0293%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_o124kL_xaTtbtkAZI6oLRigHWKieem0ZYn10jq1EROU0y-68n1g1qtoclGJwpO-ooyjhv9auW8xDKzeAeN4XbR3cPZjpdQtx6ONhHvkpq5BcD6jFHVfOFnN-h5vModsdTGBf9SLE00/s400/IMG_0293%255B1%255D.JPG" width="300" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial;">anybody there? I don't think so for the moment. This is my first attempt (and in English) at joining the creative bloggers all over the world and I feel pretty small for the moment (even though I'm quite tall for a women). I've been following you lady's for some time now and enjoyed every minute of it. Your creativity has given me much needed diversion this summer as I had a little accident and was forcefully exiled to stay at home. A lot of changes have been happening around me en a lot will change in the future to. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Since then I've taken up crochet again, I used to do that a lot but you know when children come in to your life every thing changes. They becomen your top priority!! My dear grandmother teached me the ropes (I called her bobonne).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So I want to show you my babysteps towards the making of a granny square blancket. (tell you about the pattern soon).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here you see some scraps of wool I found, there rather flashy colours but it's a blacket for my daughter. She's moving out soon and I wanted to give her something to remind me of. She loves flashy colours. Do you see my first three attemps. What do you think, so nearly there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ;-) Only 75 squares to go......</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Have to go now as time flies when you are having fun. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Hope you enjoyed this little insight and hope to hear from all you lovelies in the future.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Enjoy your day eventhough it's grey!!!!!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Lots of love..........CC xoxo</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">P.S. Forgive me for the layout, I wanted something else but probably did something wrong! I'm going to fix that!! </span>Caro Crochethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08380942690132737711noreply@blogger.com1
