Hello ! Do you follow me on Instagram ? I have been having fun making a scrap semi solid square blanket. I have been crocheting for a long time and with that comes lots of bits and bobs. I have a heap of Style Craft special DK in the solids and I am on a mission to use up my stash. I have enough to make a blanket that would cover the house HAHAA so i think I will make it big enough for two people to snuggle under
I was asked if I have a plan. Originally I was going to make a heap and then join them together....but as usually i changed my mind and now I am doing a join as you go method. I looked at my square that I have already made and couldn't bare the thought of having to join them after I had made the square
I am really enjoying the join as you go BUT I already had a HEAP of ready made squares (see image of them in the shoe box below) so to join them I have to make new squares ...yep, new ones ! I make them with 3 rounds and then I join them to the 4 rounds already made ones. Its a bit like playing tetris
I started the first square in January 2016 and I plan to have it finished by January 2017. I do get bored easily with blankets, but changing colors is keeping my attention, so I may have it finished before then

I have quite a big stash of @stylecraftyarns in the special dk. I plan to make a #stashdive #stylecraftyarn granny square blanket using each of the colors. I think there are 75 colors in total. I just did a stock take and I have 28 of the colors. That means I need to buy 47 more colors □□□ #stylecraftyarn #stylecraftspecialdk #crochet #stylecraft #stashdiveblanket

More squares to add □ Three of them I made whilst having a hot chocolate at my fav cafe. Once a week I try to take and hour to go and do something to clear my head space. Crochet relaxes me and hot chocolate is my fav drink when I am out and about. The cafe was noisy with people chatting but somehow that was soothing as my mind relaxed to the rhythm of my crochet hook #Crochet #crochetersofinstagram #yarn #stylecraftscrapblanket @stylecraftyarns #clearmyhead #crochetismytherapy
