Slow crochet! There isn't enough time for more
An email and a comment yesterday have prompted this post. The questions were similar in that they wanted the name of the block. In truth, I have no idea. I didn't follow a pattern but just played around with a conventional granny square, and this was the result. You must bear in mind that I… Continue reading Stashbusting Stone, the block!

It's the first Temperature Blanket I made which covered the seasons from December 2016 to the end of November 2017.
