Happy Granny Squares

 

I am on the last square of my granny square rug!

After 18 months,

and lots of other crocheting in between,

looks like I will finish it this Spring,

rather than last Spring.

In fact I remember last winter

when I started this rug 

I was loving it so much that I started another project

to make the fun of making this rug "last"

This last square is making me the happiest of all.

From its yellow-aqua-purple centre 

to its pink and yellow goodness

and a few more happy rounds to add.

For a few weeks I was deliberating about ...

how many rounds?

how to join them?

and finally I decided to do a round of trebles for the 20th row

in the darker blue or pink 

and then a round of single 

(or double? I can never remember which it is) crochet in green.

Then I will stitch them together with green

and do some more rounds around the whole rug,

finishing with pink.

And I'm so happy with the green edging!

The other squares are stacked almost ready to join together

one needs its green edging,

some need the ends sewn in.

Soon I'll be able to show you the finished rug!
