Good saturday sunny morning! Oooooh it's sunny, I have had a fabulous restful night's sleep and I am filled with the joy's of spring today.
I also started something new, something simple, something that any granny would approve of...
Ode to the granny square and all her simple therapeutic goodness!
All made from this yarn and a 4mm hook
The brown is 50% wool found in Lidl yesterday (6 x 50g for £3.99) and the Freedom Spirit bought in C & H fabrics last Saturday, 100% wool (1 x 50g at £4.55 per ball)
I love it!
Thank you God for simple things xox
Wishing you all a free spirited weekend xox

Hi Penelope, thanks for your lovely comment about my daisy blanket - loving that Freedom Spirit yarn, makes for a very different look to a granny square. Also really love your blog header photos - gorgeous colurs and patterns!
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooohhh! I LOVE that wool! We even get it here at the shop I do my crochet classes in!! I haven't seen THAT lovely colour though! It is so soft and delicious! My friend knitted a jersey from it in the orange and it turns out all stripey and fantastic, I'm dying to knit the colours I've got into something special!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy hopefully sunshiney weekend!!

That is the same Freedom Spirit colourway I used to make the fingerless gloves which Higins ate! I LOVE those soft sunset colours! I didn't realise how long it's ben since I last visited Penelope,you've done so much! I'm off to have a look at that Picasa Mosaic thingy, it looks fun! Hope you are all well, love Pennyxxx (Planet Penny)
ReplyDeleteworking on some granny squares right now myself, you can't beat the mindless, theraputic rythm of churning them out - lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful grannies. I am hooking some as well. I can hook two during tumbling lessons and three or four during cheer practice. Waiting for kids is far more fun with something to keep my hands busy. ~Kelly (un)Deniably Domestic!
ReplyDeleteHi Penelope, just found your blog via Alice at Crochet with Raymond. I love what you've done with the Freedom Spirit wool - I can't remember seeing granny squares done with that sort of yarn before. I neeed to have a go! :)
