My Hand knitted Granny Blanket.

When I finally sit down in the evening  I like nothing more than to do a bit of knitting in front of the television.


This is one of my vintage baskets I keep my needles and wool in. It's great to pick up and carry from
room to room. I love the green handle..

 
 
For my simple Granny Blanket I knitted 88 squares of various colours . I used 8 colours and knitted
11 squares of each colour.



. If you would like to make one the same, my squares were 20 St's and I knitted 30 rows for each one.
  Next I sewed all the squares together.



As you can imagine knitting the squares takes time but knitting a few each night and it soon adds up.




                                           It took me nearly a week to sew all the squares together.




To finish of . I did 1 row of crochet around the outside. Below is a picture of the finished blanket.



                              It is now taking pride of place in my lounge.................

                               
                                                  HAPPY KNITTING.
