The finished blanket

Here it is, the last grannysquare blanket in this design. I started making it last Summer and have been working on it for months and yesterday it was finished. It’s the fifth I’ve made and I wonder where it will end up. The first lives in my home, the second lives in Australia, the third lives in Sweden and the fourth is hopefully in Hong Kong soon.

You find it in my shop, here.

Wish you all a happy weekend, I will post some more film shots tomorrow or Sunday.

    You are so patient! And the end result is beautiful. I’ve made granny squares once or twice, but run out of crocheting enthusiasm after about the third one :P.

    How do you attach your granny squares so beautifully? I finished my first granny square blanket a few months ago and the seams between them looked awful.

    Sandra: i crocheted them together as i went along, that’s the secret recipe :)
