Another granny



I'm still on the project of enlarging some little cot covers for my friend. This one is a bit awkward because it is a different size from the last two that I worked on, although it still needs to be made larger. I think it is going to be a knee-rug size and I've worked out that I will need 20 new squares to finish it off. So here I go. Those little daisies are to be the centre of each new square and the big granny is the blanket that is to be enlarged.
I'm sticking with the plain granny square pattern for the new squares so that they will match the centre.
Wandering through my books yesterday I found one I forgot I had. Ooh I do love doing that. This book is called 'Discovering Crochet' and is one of the Mon Tricot series put out in the 70's. There are some granny squares in there that I would like to try. Oh for another pair of hands. I feel some WIPs and UFOs coming on. Meanwhile I'll be good and get on with the present job.
It's a blistering 38 degrees here in Melbourne today. That's 100 in the old Farenheit language. No matter how it is measured it is still jolly hot. Roll on Autumn, my favourite season.
I hope the weather is being kind to you wherever you are.
Bye for now until next time.

  1. I love all your cheerful photos and enjoyed catching up on your posts. I am slowly making more time to keep up with bloggers as I have been in such deep mourning at the loss of my sweet hubby. I know it will take a long time to lessen the hurt but I am trying. Hugs, Kerrie

    1. Poor you Pat. I always kid myself that Tassy is cooler than Melbourne. I feel cheated when I hear it's not. :(

  3. Dear Kerrie. I'm glad to hear from you. My thoughts are with you. I can't even imagine how I'd cope in your situation. I hope you will feel a little stronger each day.

  4. I love leafing through old books - so many interesting ideas that await. We'd trade some of our windchill for just a day or two of blistering heat, if it were possible :)

    1. Minding my own, I suppose I'll be complaining about the cold in a few weeks time - much nicer for knitting though. :)
