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.
ReplyDeleteI am granny square obsessed at the moment. And these are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIm positively drooling at the sight of your stash. What a great collection!
ReplyDeleteThe grannie squares look beautiful aswell and I cannot wait to see more, well done.
Soo pretty how many strands do you use? Also are you going to be selling those cuffs I would love one if the size can be customized I am a plus size girl.... shooot woman I am almost freakin 50 feel like I am between 15 and 30 on any given day.

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! :)
ReplyDeleteThese squares are awesome! I am not obsessed with granny squares.... yet... but I bet I will be eventually!
ReplyDeleteI love your cuff! I want one. Haha. How did you make it, if you don't mind me asking?
