Relaxing Crochet

I am making real progress on the American Girl Doll Sweater pattern . The pattern is written and is being tested before a final editing. I expect the pattern will be ready sometime over the coming weekend. I am going to pick buttons tomorrow, and I am going to spend some time brushing the hair of the dolls, and playing with different outfits...of course the only reason I am "playing" with the doll is for the pictures! ;)

My knitting has been so focused lately that I needed a relaxed easy project. Crochet granny squares are exactly what I need when the knitting gets intense. I can just crochet a couple a day, and eventually I will have enough for a blanket!

I found the cutest pattern for floral granny squares on the beautiful blog Rosehip.

I had some Cornucopia yarn by Kollage in my stash, in bright cheerful colors. So there we go, here are the first 3 squares...



These little flowery squares make me smile. I think they could cheer up anybody's day, don't you?

Very sweet squares, even though they don't look like squares. The yarn looks soft too. I wish I could finish my big granny square blanket ....

Your granny square is indeed very cheerful and the finished project will be pretty and cheerful, I'm sure.

agreed. Very cheery! And it's a lovely photo in general.

I miss American Girl dolls. So glad someone is still playing with them ;)
