New Crochet Granny Square Bed Throw...


THE GUARDIAN CROCHET BLANKET
I've been watching this TV drama and last night in one scene a lovely crochet blanket had a staring role
made a quick note of how it was put together and it's the new Design for the bed Throw
almost managed a row last night and early this morning....13 squares(5 rounds) in a row of the 
169 basic granny squares I need to make a bed throw of about 7' square for a king size bed with an
over hang and small border

REALLY VERY PLEASED WITH THE NEW DOOR..
I fiddled and faffed a lot yesterday to make the feathered in plastering and removed dado rail disappear
You can't see the join! lol


DO YOU MAKE LISTS?
Made quite a long list yesterday and we got through almost everything..well done us hehe
Usually only manage about half

TABLE MATS
Had a thought this morning...dangerous or costly hehe
My  Dunelm Glass cutting board would make great table mats...and we do need a new set,
 then l could buy the 'CHOP' glass board as the cutting board
Goes really well with the chair seats l think..they have dried out quite well only a couple of water marks l might be able to remove
also co-ordinates with the new crochet too


SADLY OUT BANK HOLIDAY VISITOR CAN'T MAKE IT
Sad to say Shirley isn't well and doesn't feel up to travelling to Shropshire this morning...we were both looking forward to her visit...Shirley looked after Phil and his twin a lot when they were little..another time Shirley and we will see you in a couple of weeks when we go travelling in NooNoo

Get well soon Shirley
Have a Fabulous Friday everyone
hugs to all xx

  3. Isn't it amazing... sometimes we fiddle and try new beautiful patterns and feel indecisive... and then good old granny squares just hit the spot and are the best choice! I love your throw :)
    Good job with the restyling too, you're so talented!
