The last post for the year 2012,
now don't fall off of your chair.
Yeah, you are seeing me posting 2 days in a row.
I wanted to show you what I have been working on
during all those days my hubby was in the hospital.
It's called Granny's Puzzle Pieces.
I found the pattern in a magazine called
BEST-EVER AFGHANS the December 2, 2011 issue.
Basically it is just another simple granny square laid out
in a design to resemble inter-locking puzzle pieces.
I still have oodles of Vanna yarn and that is mainly
what I have been using here. My couch is ox blood
in color and it wasn't the best choice for the photo since
there is a sort of border row that I am doing in a rust color.
If you look closely you can see it. The one in the magazine
has the same border only a white color.
I took one shot with flash, the second without.
It's just another project to keep me out of trouble
and to keep me sane during this trying time.
I do not know what I plan to do with this one
when it is finished. Making blankets is the best
thing to do when the winter weather hits.
Brrrrrr.....it is sure cold outside!
As far as New Year's resolutions
I have not made any, that way I won't
be disappointed in myself if I fail.
Wishing all my good blogging friends the
best in the New Year with health and happiness.
I Love your Granny Puzzle blankie Susanne!
ReplyDeleteI am a huge fan of anything Granny Square and plan to do several projects using them this coming year as I have recently purchased 3 new books featuring them :)
May you be Blessed in 2013,

This will be a really nice blanket. I've seen a few of these around the Web on Ravelry and such. You do need something to pass the time on all the hospital and dialysis visits. Hope you have a happy and blessed 2013!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is this blanket, really fun. I think your New Year's Resolution is to be good to you, you take such great care of everyone, make sure to take time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,
