This is my blanket project topic! See the updates below ![]()
1. Intro & sewing questions (Nov 4)
Not sure if any of u noticed, but I’m not really signing up for tester calls bc of this! I’m not going to be signing up for tester calls, again bc I’m going on vacation, but I will be active on Ribblr almost daily! (Don’t worry for ppl testing for me! This won’t affect u much!). But this is also an announcement for a big project! I love crocheting in the car, and this is a road trip is perfect! I’m finally going to use this yarn for smthn, and It’s going to be a blanket! Need ur help! (Wow this is a lot of exclamation points) I was thinking of a granny square blanket, and make Tetris shapes, and sewing them into a blanket like this:
So any suggestions for other things I can do? It needs to be modular (pieces to sew together) bc it’s easier to transport (edit: I’m making granny squares). Another thing, should I mix the texture yarn with any other?
2. Yarn spun, selected, and slst or sew? (Nov 6)
I leave Saturday morning, and I’m almost done preparing for the blanket. Here’s all the yarns I’m using, they are either weird texture, or colours I love.
And here’s the granny square pattern I’ve settled on! It’s just, well, a normal granny square.
May take some creative liberties with some different sized granny squares, or different types. Should I sew or crochet panels together?
- Sew
- Slst/crochet together
I don’t really know, as I’m new to well, just granny squares in general. Any other tips? I may also continue to add yarns.
3. Granny squares made & more tmrw (Nov 13)
I’ve made them! 23 so far
I made about half of them on the road, and half of them whenever I had time. I’ve wet blocked about half of them, but I think I’m going to buy a cheap steamer and steam block them. Any suggestions? They’re all slightly different sizes due to the different textures. Leave tmrw, plan to make a lot in the car, as well as tonight.
Here are some of the extra details
