Round granny cushion!

By
October 2, 2010

Hello my friend,

I just want to begin this post by thanking every single one of you for all these sweets comments you are leaving on my posts…It is making me really happy reading them:) Thank you again …You bring sunshine to my mornings!

This is the round granny cushion… (not so round i’m afraid…because my sewing skills are still very poor πŸ™ but I’m practicing and practice makes perfect, no? ;))

But I think it’s cute, don’t you?

Maybe I’ll put the pattern later … when I go back to my-normal-life πŸ™‚

And this is my yarns: 30 colors in total (40 new yarns and lot of left overs from previous projects)

I am gonna make a granny monster …yes yes a GRANNY MONSTER to test my crochet patience…

Something really big made with big granny squares: Every granny made with 14 rounds (every round crocheted with a different color:)Yes, I like to change constantly the colors, I am a little bit crazy;) )…

A total of 49 squares (7×7) to cover all our double sized bed…(I’ll show you something next time, I’ve already made 3 squares…and it is looking gorgeous…

So, I have to leave you now and wish you a fantastic week end… (Here we are still in summer and the weather is very hot…)

BIG BIG kisses,

Sucrette

    Thank you all for ur comments!

    To Denise Briese: I join together the 2 different colors ends with a doble node and I hide them with my hook on the back between the crochet knots every time I finish a round πŸ™‚
    I hope I made it clear with my not-so-good-english!
    Have a good evening!

    The bright colours on your blog make me smile, it is very beautiful! I am busy myself with a ‘grannymonster’ as well, in 10 different blue yarns. It is a lot of work, but very nice to work on and switch colours all the time. None of them are the same!

    I am loving your colors and creations! In the past few days I have become obsessed with your site. I don’t know when I’ve been so inspired. Thank you! I do wish I knew more about the yarn you use. Do you always use the same brand? Is it wool or a blend? Help! Thanks!

      Dear Amy,
      Thank you so much for this sweet message…
      I use in most of my projects a 100% acrylic yarn called: Stylecraft special DK…It is a very cheap in cost yarn but very soft and excellent for crochet and its range have a lot a lot of different colors:)
      Have a good evening!
