Where does your inspiration come from? I started playing around with granny squares after making one for a swap with Debi Y. I played around with different color combinations and liked what I was getting but wasn't 100% sure where it was all leading. Then Santa, in the form of my husband, gave me this beautiful Vera Bradley tote bag for Christmas. (I had admired it while we were Christmas shopping and he remembered!) I love the combinations of the lights and jewel-tone colors against the black background.
I took a second look at my stash and realized I had many of the same colors.
There's a few I did previously that may have to be weeded out, but maybe not. We'll see. I am planning to connect them and edge the blanket with black. Stay tuned for yet another work in progress.
Peace,
Cynthia
Hi Cynthia! Missed you at crochet group tonight! I love, love, love several things. 1, that your hubby remembered something you admired and actually bought it for you. 2, the colors of your grannies and 3, the way you photograph your work. You are very inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol!
ReplyDeleteThey're all very nice - the colors are pretty together. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Debi! Your swap got me started! I'm working on something different for swap #2.

I sadly missed "crochet club" tonight, too (quotes because I don't crochet!). I am always impressed with what you ladies crochet, and I love your grannie squares, Cynthia! I like the colors you've used and I'm a big fan of color patterns on black. It reminds me of Amish quilts. So I hope you finish this. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
ReplyDeleteLove your squares and the pretty colours...
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina! I enjoyed visiting your blog! Love the baby dolls and the crocheted bag looks very handy to have. I will have to try and make one for myself.

Do you have a pattern for this beautiful granny square? It's lovely!! I love the flower in the middle and the surrounding stitches remind me of mini hearts. Looking for a new pattern to make for a valentine's blanket for my girls. Thanks so much.
