Granny Square Blanket Update

As you guys know I have been making a crochet blanket using solid granny squares with a black border. 
Here is an update of my progress (Excuse the messy bed, it's the only place I could lay them all out 

 I've built up quite a collection! There are even some colours with more than one square on top of the same colour. 

 The strip at the top are some that have started to be connected together as I wanted to see how the colours and the black looked together and to practice my joining method. I'm really happy with how well I've been doing with it so far! 
I still have a long way to go though.

Granny Square Blanket

I haven't been crocheting too long but I really liked the idea of making a granny square blanket with solid colours and black edging. It will also help me to use up most of my yarn stash too!

 I am aiming to crochet at least one square a day so that it won't take me forever to finish, these are what i have so far. I've just been picking colours at random so that i'll have a nice selection of different colours rather than a specific colour chart.

The only problem with using yarn from my stash is they're all so different so some of the squares are different sizes to others, I thought this would be a problem but I thought that I could always try and block them once i'm all done. If that doesn't work then i guess the different sizes will add character. 

I'm really liking this project as they're small squares so I won't get bored and it will look really great once it's finished.

Crochet Blanket

For years my sister has been bugging me about making her a blanket, so this year I decided to crochet her a blanket, I'm pretty new to crochet and have just about mastered crochet. 
She has not long moved house and wanted a nice blanket for her little book nook that she's been making.  
She wanted it in a green colour so i picket up a really nice green and some white to break up the colour a bit. 

 I'm super happy with how it came out considering it was my first finished crochet blanket, I think the green and white really complement each other. 

 

I made a large white border around the edge to finish it off and give it a nice border. I made it large enough to be able to wrap around. 
I think that i will be making more crochet blankets from now on!
