This blanket has been in my UFO box for some time. I had seen the pattern early on in my crochet journey and when I was in Perth I saw some cheap yarn which I bought to do the project, little realising that there is a vast difference in yarns. I then started it and became thoroughly disheartened when I thought I was going to have to make 420 2 round granny squares and then sew them together trying to match my sewing thread with contrasting colours. so it went in the UFO box for another day. Well that other day come about 4 weeks ago. DJ and I had to travel to Rockingham for my brother's wedding anniversary which is a 41/2 to 5 hour trip each way. I needed a project to keep me entertained and this was the one to do the job.
After having a good look at the pattern I decide to join the squares using the join-as-you-go method that Lucy from Attic 24 has put together a great tutorial for.
This worked really well but toward the end it got rather warm and heavy which wouldn't normally matter but I was finishing it of while on holiday with temperatures in the mid 30's.
