blanket squares

So, I’ve made a lot of squares. A lot of squares. Soon these squares will become a blanket, bordered in beautiful sage green yarn, but until I begin that task, I’m quite happy looking at my pile of squares.

It’s actually quite useful that I’m behind schedule on this project - the intended recipient is due in two weeks and I thought I’d have it done by now - as whenever I make or buy a present for someone I get childishly impatient to give it to them. Partly, it’s that I’m so excited that I’ve found or made something that I’m really pleased with and I want the person to be able to enjoy it straight away, but partly it’s that I’m scared someone will give them the same or a cooler present before I get to! I know, I’m a loon.

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve just learned to crochet. I’m finding it really fascinating to learn and I thought that, as I’m at the beginning of my crocheted road, some of you might like to learn along with me. So, over the next few weeks/months/however long it takes me, I’ll be posting little tutorials of new techniques and tips that I’ve been trying my hand at.

The very first thing that I learnt to crochet was a square - yeah, forget the boring bits like making a chain or single crochet, try a square on your first day! You’ll be so pleased with yourself.
