An Overdue Blanket Reveal

Today I am getting a bit of a preview as to what next week will be like, as my husband has taken our children to my Mother in Law’s house. She is part of our bubble and so the visit complies with the current lock down restrictions. This means I was able to have a lie in, the house is eerily quiet and some toys (for the first time in about 12 weeks) can finally be put away.

I decided it would be a good opportunity to post a few pictures of a blanket I made. I originally wrote about in February 2013 (see post here) as part of my first blog post, a post which included images of a number of granny squares, a work in progress. I can’t tell you how long the blanket took in the end, it was a while, which isn’t surprising as it is more than big enough to cover a standard (UK) king sized bed. In the autumn and spring it gets used as an extra layer on our bed, otherwise it is around for anyone feeling a chill.

This blanket was basically my first crochet project and, if only for it’s weight and size, I’m proud of it.

Thanks for dropping by, Polly

Intro to me and my blanket

This is my first shot at all this, so I’m going to keep it brief!  My name is Polly and I live in York with a puppy called Ginger and my ginger husband-to-be called Tim.  We keep bees in our backyard and hope to expand with additional hives  in future.  I studied the sea but in the absence of a job and the presence of a puppy I spend most of my time crocheting, cooking, pootling in the garden, eating cake with friends, searching for reasons not to do house work and musing the beautiful blogs of crafty people.   At present I’m working  on a blanket, progress pictures below:

Towering Granny

Grannies waiting to be crocheted together, I greatly enjoy pictures like this.

This picture was taken in Abu Dhabi in November when I was visiting my Mum, at the time I thought I’d get the blanket finished by the end of December – not a chance!!

November Status

Novembers squares in order!

I’ve done a lot since then, but that picture might have to wait until I’m finished!  What I will say is that it’s a flower with blue petals a green stem and purple grannies round the edge.

Thanks for popping by!
