I tried a dishcloth in the rounds the other night and it took me an hour before I could figure it out and then keep up with where I was with each round. It didn't quite come out as a square but at least I finished it. I'm gonna practice the granny square until I get it right! Have a fabulous day.

Lovely wool and lovely tubs to match, I bet you can't wait to begin your blanket, I've been thinking about starting a new one myself but still deciding what wool to use (will have to be a cheapy one this time, a nice soft acrylic as blankets can work out ridiculously expensive when using the luxury yarns).<br />Love your sewing box too, it's a really nice design and I liked how you embellished it with real buttons!<br /><br />Lovely post again, always a pleasure to visit your little corner of blogworld!<br /><br />Love Julia xJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492504774523043887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-40538116406559613372011-06-24T09:23:02.146+01:002011-06-24T09:23:02.146+01:00Oooh I feel all pepped up after seeing all that lo...Oooh I feel all pepped up after seeing all that lovely colour! I think Granny Squares are an adult version of the fun we had as children just colouring in with a huge tin of pencils. You can choose loads of colour combo's and just crochet. I must say though, that I never expected to have finished mine and to be utterly put off sewing all the squares together because it is so boring!

It always smelled of polish - happy days!<br /><br />These colours are so cheerful, really love them!<br /><br />Sue from crafts@home saw your applique post earlier this week, which then inspired her to set our 2 daughters the task of having a go. They are absolutely loving it, with some good progress made already!
