Last night I finished the 180th square of this blanket.
If I even mention another blanket any time soon, shoot me. I love this one but two plain granny square blankets in a year is too much. This one has half the squares already in rolls, so hopefully a few evenings will see it finished.
I have my meagre Rowan Renew supplies left (it’s discontinued, wail….) and I’m hoarding it for a while now.
Meanwhile, the living room is getting a make over. Once you do this to the main room wall, there is no going back.
I’m a very unsure decorator, there just isn’t enough time to really research. I’m grumpy because I wanted to buy posh paint but it doesn’t look right. And I can’t fathom a look in my head and it’s an expensive waste of paint and time if it’s awful.
However, I’ve hung a red sheet up and now I think my chosen patches may yet work.
One thing is for sure, it won’t be brown any more!
Ps, Sherlock? What did you think???
Wowzer, that’s a lotta lotta squares. I am impressed! Can’t wait to see finished blanket…
Ooh, I love paint colours. Good luck with the choosing, I’m sure you’ll get it right…
Sherlock was good 🙂 Wondering if the “this is how I did it” will keep going, and hoping it’s not just back to things as they were from ep 2.
Sherlock was just what I needed this evening 🙂
Farrow and Ball paints are great – pricy plus you need a different undercoat with different colours but so worth the final effect. Really deep lovely colours and not one splash or drip even when doing the ceiling. Worthwhile just for that (and the bizarre names).
Bit late for this room but painting largish sheet of card (A4) means you can move colour around different walls to see how the lighting changes it and you don’t have to do 3 or 4 coats to get rid of the tester squares. Last house we chose a colour for the ceiling and then had to redo two rooms as what was cream in one (the one we tested) was pink in another and brown in the third, just because of the amount and angle of natural light.
180 squares …….seriously impressive!
Wow, that’s an impressive amount of crochet squares! Wish I could crochet, can knit, but can’t get my head around crochet. Can’t wait to see your finished blanket. Enjoyed last two series of Sherlock, but this first episode of series 3 made my head hurt with the frenetic editing, the splicing/swooshing/twittering all going on, I was losing track of the plot! And did you know that ‘Mary’ is played by Martin Freeman’s real life wife & Sherlock’s parents were played by his real life parents too 😉
Sherlock? Watchable, but nothing to it when you look back at it. Sherlock’s a horrible person, John’s highly boring and somehow fails to even manage on-screen chemistry with his own partner. Only character I like is Mary. ‘Story’ was minimal. Like eating marshmallows.
Apart from that, get joining 🙂
