Day 6 - My granny square blanket is growing :)

17/6/2014

I had many bits of yarn that were only big enough for the center of the granny square. By day 6 I had 120 grannies made AND with ends sewn in GO ME !!! But i also had 57 squares that only had centers made.... But I had run out of scraps , I did find about 5 skeins that were partially used to help out with adding more colors and finishing off the 3rd round on many of the squares ....177 squares later I had used up all my scraps

4 weeks ago I got a phone call from my dad saying your mum has a fuzzy section that has shown up on a brain scan. A week later mum was having a operation to remove a aggressive stage 4 brain tumor.... as you can imagine my families world got turn up side down. A week later mum was aloud to go from hospital. Being shaky on her feet, mum needed someone to be with her at home, just in case she fell and also to help out around the house
Insert her favorite daughter aka ME (My sister always calls herself the fav daughter hee,hee) to help out and for once take care of my mum instead of her looking after us :) How the roles have changed, making lunches, cooking dinner and helping out with house work. Best of all I get to spend lots of time with my beautiful and strong spirited mum (and Dad when he gets home from work)
So what does a crochet addicted lady like myself do between her new found role? Crochet up a storm of course ! I rounded up all my Red Heart Super Saver scrap yarn - anything that was less than half a skein
