Granny Squares

Thought I would show you what I have been doing over the past few days. Still resting at home on Doctors orders but I am one of these people who can't just sit and do nothing so I have been busy making Granny squares. This is how I have got on so far:



Picture is a little pale as the colours as so rich.  Not sure what colour to edge it with, think cream will be too pale in comparison to the rich colours and the teal I was going to use looks now like it clashes!  Will have to think about this while I complete the estimated 84 squares - 10 down another 74 to go.  Come to a halt now as I have used all of the 3 balls of wool I purchased.  This yarn is by Rowan and is extra fine Merino DK.  The wool is so amazing to use but I think this blanket will work out quite expensive as the wool is £4.95 a ball and I estimate I will need about 28 balls!  But just think how warm and snuggly it will be on a cold winters night all wrapped up in front of the fire!
