I worked up a bunch of granny squares this weekend. I still have a small pile that I need their ends woven in, but most of them are done. I’m trying to decide between making a purse like this one or a pillow. I’d use the purse a lot this summer, but a pillow would look nice on the couch in the house I’m living in next school year. They both use about the same number of squares. Well, I have some time to decide since both projects will require a bit of sewing and some hardware. I won’t do the construction stuff until I’m home for the summer.
I used leftover Knit Picks Wool of the Andes and my 5mm hook. I have a hard time making truly random things so my colors transition in the same order on every square.
Now that is awesome. I am digging all the combos!
It’s making my eyes go funny :p
Woah, I agree with Steph.
It *is* hard to be truly random. People have a natural tendency to create patterns one way or another, even if you try not to.
Pillow! Also animated gif for the win!
I love that minty green you’ve chosen!
Such a cool gif!
Uber-cuteness! I just picked up a copy of The Happy Hooker and am planning to teach myself crochet this summer so I can make some colorful throw blankets for the house. More inspiration for me.
Whoa. Fast gif! Very fun. Before the end of the summer, I’d like to learn crochet.
Ooo! I vote bag! Love the color, btw.
Love the visuals on this post!
Great idea for an animation – I’m not much of a crochet-er but I’m pretty inspired by this.
