CROCHET TRIANGLE INSET IN A GIANT GRANNY SQUARE BLANKET

Thanks everyone, thanks Blogger and Thank goodness for CROCHET...l'm all sorted now

NEW GIANT GRANNY BLANKET WITH TRIANGLE INSETS
A few days go l needed to crochet but not think to much, so l started a giant Granny square in memory of my very 1st granny square blanket l made over 45years ago....wish l knew what happened to that one!
I found and used a small blended sample as the inspiration and got started
21 rounds later l was bored with it....
so l scribbled a few ideas down on paper and decided to try out one of the ideas on a small cushion size sample first
I found a small granny square that l had started months ago made of ends and small balls, added the triangles to it...wasn't sure where to go next but laid it down and let it morph a bit
then l knew where to go...so added the chain to make a square again and liked it so much l kept going and now have two Giant Granny Square blankets in the making...
sorry about the awful photos...semi dark when l took them last night and this morning...lol
The corner holes are too big to leave so l'm thinking a flower of some description or l quite like the circles
Continuing on using left overs in all colours, mixing 2 strands of DK and a 6mm hook

I'm thinking l'll try a different scribbled idea on the blended Giant Granny if the one idea works then l think the others will too
Good to be back on track and happy playing hooky


Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone
hugs to all x

    Suz, you are so creative, I would need a picture and a chart to make this, I could never do it on my own. Well done I love it.
