Yes it's Tuesday again and time for an update on my One a Day project. It's still coming along nicely and my total is now 94 squares. I thought I would lay them out this week so you can see how they all look - pretty aren't they? It was a little bit of a wake up call laying them out as I realised I am going to need a whole load more of these to make a decent sized blanket. I think I'll need a minimum of 400 squares possibly more if I want to put them on our bed. They now weigh 250 grams so that's five balls of yarn!

It is looking so pretty, somehow those colours are very restful together.
ReplyDeleteThis blanket will become funny! Lovely colours they really good work together.
ReplyDeleteIt can be quite a shock when you lay them all out and realize your about 1/4 the way through!! It is going to be a beauty!!! Such a peaceful palette !!!!
ReplyDeleteCalming colors. Perfect for snuggling and crochet or knitting under.

DeleteLove your grannies! Sorry I linked twice but the first was a bad link and I didn't know how to delete it!! :(
ReplyDeleteThe colours are lovely. What sort of yarn are your using? It looks like it crochets up beautifully.
ReplyDeleteIt's various different cotton/acrylic blends, all DK. There's more details on my Ravelry page if you want to have a look.
DeleteThat is looking awesome! Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteWow, loving great! You are doing much better than my little square blanket!
ReplyDeleteOoh I adore your colours Carole, so so pretty!

That is so pretty. I am sure that once you have made enough, everytime you look at this blanket you will smile
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the colour palette! This blanket is going to be all kinds of awesome when it's done.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!! Your squares are so pretty - every time I see a post about this blanket, I think of spring. It will look so nice on your bed. 94 is a LOT of squares - great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Carol,

Carole they're looking fab together! Looks like the perfect project for doing one (or two?) a day, I'm sure before you know it you'll have your 400! I might do something similar but on a smaller scale like a cushion. Lots of green yarn I want to get hooking :)
ReplyDeleteI love your squares, I have just found this and would love to join in. I'm making a granny blanket but doing three a day so will join your link once I've counted and sorted :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, they look so pretty all together, I'm doing the same square and you do need loads, I'm about half way through now. Deb xxx
ReplyDeleteThese are so fantastic, Carole! How will you connect them? Crochet or mattress st?
ReplyDeleteI think I'll crochet them together but keep the seams on the back as I like the way the colours look next to each other.
DeleteYour squares are coming on beautifully! Love all your colours and it's looking like an impressive pile now. How many are you planning on doing?

I'm not sure yet, I thought 400 would give me a decent sized blanket but after laying the 90 out I realised I'm probably going to need a whole load more than that!
DeleteLove all of your squares such pretty colours,I'm enjoying starting my rainbow of colours grannies,my first week!Thanks for hosting love juliexxx
