It took me some time to shovel myself some minutes to post this finished, fabulous granny squares blanket which is
designed ONLY for baby owlets!
The plan was to make a blanket from squares resembling the colors of the rainbow,
which is a very colorful project for a goth household to start with. Anywhooo, kids are kids and therefore like bright colors, so I went for it anyway. It did take some extra skeins of yarn since the remainder of my stash wasn´t tooooo colorful to yield a complete blanket, but not really much was bought for it. Most yarns I used are acrylics because they are more durable than anything more sophisticated like wool or silk (which both is totally not suitable for spit up and the like). The size is more than enough for a little baby and I hope to use it as a picnic and outdoor blanket for spending the summer on outdoors.
It was hellish fun to make all those squares and put them together, this is what I simply love about making granny blankets, seeing them grow piece by piece.
I declared it finished and did an edging to finish it
BUT if I all out of the sudden found myself with an unlimited amount of time I´d definately add another, say, two rows of accordingly toned squares to add to the size.
Something tells me I didn`t finish it a day too early since I´m down with on-and-off premature labor (oh noes, again!!!) and a short cervix (which is new!!!), let´s hope to keep it put another few days...
