Well, in truth, a few last ends for weaving, but it is otherwise complete
I settled on a smaller size this time. It’s only 2 x 3 blocks. It will make a good lap blanket, and for a change I’ve given this a more definite border
In retrospect I should have done another round of granny blocks, but four will do. The final round is one I’ve used often, and I really like the way it always makes a dragon teeth like effect! It’s good for C2Cs, too.
I chose Sage for the joining and border. This would not have been an obvious choice, given the bulk of the bright colours in the squares, but represents the temperature that appeared most during the month –
14deg C – several mornings, and even one evening! July was a mixed month with some very warm days, and then cooling off.
August will be next, but smaller squares again this time I think. Fourteen colours so far – I wonder what the rest of the month will bring.
Tomorrow I’ll list the colours and sequence of the June blanket. I promised to do that earlier, but just didn’t get around to it!
See you soon!
Such a feeling of accomplishment when a project is finished. I think the Sage yarn for joining was perfect as it doesn’t distract from the brilliant colors of each square.
Thanks for taking us along on your journey of creating your afghan step-by-step.
My very first crocheted afghan (about 45 yrs ag0) was a Granny Square quilt, which my kids still use today!
