When you mention crocheting many people think of granny squares.
Colorful yarn blankets using up left over yarn. I also had seen some
granny square projects and wanted to try it. The fun thing about grannys
quares is that you whip one of them up relatively quickly. You can use
them as a coaster, sew a few together as a scarf or bag. The
possibilities are endless but somehow after making a few squares the
endless list of possibilities could not motivate me as much.
When
my due date became closer I felt the urge to create something for our
new family member.
I considered knitting some clothes but decided
against it. I had knitted a sweater for my son, but he never really wore
it. Our babies double as lamas and drool/spit/vomit all over their
clothes all the time. The drooling/spitting/vomiting behavior stopped me
from putting on the sweater that took me hours to make.
Enter
my unfinished granny squares. Within one and a half week I created
enough squares to make up a nice baby blanket. The
spitting/drooling/vomiting is usually done on the sheets under the head
and not on the blankets. Now I have the perfect thing to cover my new
born with love :).
And "yes" if you might be wondering if that gray blob in the right is
belly. Usually when making pictures with my phone of projects on the
floor or table my feet appear in the picture. I did not notice
immediately but when I did I thought is was extra funny and kept it like
this.
