Well, I started something new. Needing to get a fix on my granny square addiction I picked up my basket full of embroidery floss and started the insanity. I think I am going to make a large mat for my dining table.
And check out the back side! It's reversible. Each square is actually two squares sandwiched together by a row of single crochet. It almost gives it a quilted look.
I love this pattern. I am doing the circles in reds and building out in rows of different color backgrounds.
This is my thread stash I am working from. It looks like a complete mess!
I also made a cuff for moi! With beads, too!
This is the underside of it. It's just something I was toying with. It has a groovy lacy look. I've been wearing the mud out of it ever since I finished it. LOL!
It's been a week, and seems like the weekend has flown by. I'm off to crochet some more insanity!

Once again you have amazed me with your work. I tried crochet with 3 strands of sewing thread one time. It was going to be beautiful but the strands kept getting tangled. Love your work.
I am granny square obsessed at the moment. And these are beautiful.
Im positively drooling at the sight of your stash. What a great collection!
The grannie squares look beautiful aswell and I cannot wait to see more, well done.

Wow..that is a groovy cuff! Love it! You have quite the stash of embroidery thread too. That's a LOT! The squares look gorgeous made with it. What a wonderful idea. It will be a piece to treasure when it's done!

Very beautiful project.
Beautiful pattern, and I love how you are creating crocheted items with embroidery floss! :) I have used it in the past to crochet smaller items, but nothing this big. Very nice! :)
These squares are awesome! I am not obsessed with granny squares.... yet... but I bet I will be eventually!
I love your cuff! I want one. Haha. How did you make it, if you don't mind me asking?

I love, love, love this. And you have given me such an idea. I have boxes and boxes of embroidery thread. What a wonderful way to use them. Mine won't end up looking as good as yours, but I can try. Thank you.
The mat is fantastic. Wow!! The cuff is quite gorgeous as well.
