I learnt to crochet granny squares last year [so I could make a blanket for my sister's new baby- see here], and since then it has been on my mind to make a crocheted blanket for our home. I have been working on this, off and on, for about 6 months. I started, what is essentially a giant granny square, as a way to use up some odd balls of wool left over from other woolly makes. I could have carried on and on, going round and round, its only that I ran out of suitable wool that I cast off. I will miss not having a 'telly project' to work on. I really find it hard to simply just watch telly - it makes me feel guilty and that I'm being lazy, I know that I am perfectly entitled to stop and indulge in a TV drama, but a project that I can do on my knee is the perfect way for me to relax, guilt-free, and feel productive!
