HELLO!
I finished my giant granny square!
I thought that it was going to be ANOTHER one of those unfinished things that lurk in my basket! ( I say basket, but really it's a foot stool that I shove everything in!)
I was a little unsure about a white boarder, but I had an idea that needed something plain.
!!!!!!!!!!!FLOWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
48 to be precise!
All made on the inside pegs of my flower loom.
I stitched each flower on using a little yellow bead for the flower center.
I'm a very happy bunny, and am pleased with how it has turned out!
The secret I found to keeping it square is to simply turn. As you finish each round, turn your square over to work the next round. I also joined my yarn on a different corner for every round. I hope that helps anyone thinking of making one too!
Till next time

This is totally to-die-for CUTE! Wonderful job. So happy and fun.
ReplyDeletei really love those flowers around the border...it adds so much pizazz!!
ReplyDeletehow do you make those flowers?
Im had to do that to. turning it. but i like having one right side and one wrong side but the uneven wonkey square with saggy ends drove me insane. so i had to turn it each round.
ReplyDeleteyour blanket is lovely
Turning in each round does help to keep it square. I just made one. Did you block your blanket? I am wondering if I should. Flowers look lovely.
