Leap Year Blanket
Facebook is to blame for this – I followed a friend around and landed on a group about making a crochet leap year blanket. The idea is that you make a square a day and turn it into a blanket – I was hooked! now I I know what I am like and I would start off very enthusiastically and make more than one square a day and then maybe one or two every three or four days then one a week or two and then give up. So I decided that I would commit to making one square a week and if I did more it would be a bonus.
The other thing I know about myself is that if i left it to the end of the year to put together I’d never do it, so it’s being pieced togther as I go.
the colours are just made up from what I had to hand and what I fancy adding. i also have done rather random sizes as I don’t tend to take too much notice of what wool should be used for what sized hook or for what gauge.
So the whole thing is a bit of a random, hotch potch of things I have ready to use up and things I like.
The other thing that some people are doing is making special square for special occasions, so having spent a lovely Burns night with friends I decided I’d have a go at my first square with a meaning. It’s not finished yet but you get the idea. I also make so diddy diddy squares with the same colours to act as grouting between big square – I think perhaps making all the squares the same size might have been a better idea!
