I had this mountain of left over tweedy yarns. So I decided to embark on a granny square project, with the idea of making a blanket for one of my children as a Christmas present.
Crochet has the great advantage of being fast. I actually doubled the yarn to make it super fast. Why knit a blanket in months, when you can crochet a spirited Granny Square blanket in weeks? I know some of you will say that knitting looks nicer, but I personally like both the efficiency, and the vintage spirit of the crochet blanket.
I have so far completed 22 squares, and probably have at least 13 more to go...
