Back with some more crochet show ‘n’ tell……..  (The papercrafting is well and truly on hold at the moment, I just can’t seem to get in the right zone :-/)

So, I mentioned before that I’d been crocheting granny squares.  A lot of the gorgeous crochet I see around the internet is very brightly coloured, so cheerful and eyecatching, but I’m more of a muted colours girl, so for my granny squares I decided to go with this colour scheme:

I have no idea yet if I’ll keep the blanket these squares are destined for, so my colour choices weren’t determined by anything other than that I like them!  The yarn is Stylecraft Special DK, it’s quite ‘hairy’ (it’s a  technical term, you know ) but very soft and snuggly.  I love all my squares and waste spend many a minute sorting and arranging them.  See?

There are 64 squares so far.  And no two are the same.  I didn’t realise I was going to be this anal, LOL!

I chose a mocha to join them with, these are the first two,

and I can’t wait to see the whole lot joined together.  I’m already planning the border, just got to get a few more squares done first.  Like, 40 more *sigh*.  Lucky I love it so much .
