Tuesday's Tallies

 


Hello,
 Time for Tuesday's Tallies. I have 41 squares all made and joined together. I have been working on this for 21 days. Not too bad when you consider I have moved house in the last week. Here are my photos for the week.
 Sorry, but I am not showing more than the floor of our new house until it is finished. Lol. Here are some closer shots of the squares.
I have been sewing the ends in as I go, except when I join with the cream. I finish a row and then go back and sew in. I am using the join as you go method and it is nice and quick.
 Here is the last photo for today.
I have 2 rows of 20 squares done and one for the third row. There will be 18 rows of 20 squares to make one big blanket for our bed. I got the inspiration from my friend, Tracy. She was my Christmas Swap partner with the We Love Lucy group. We became good friends and continue to talk all the time. She saw a blanket here and wanted to make one. Tracy doesn't have a blog though. Maybe she will share hers on Ravelry. I am loving this blanket though.
 Thank goodness for Ravelry. I love that site. Gingerbread Girl started the One-A-Day group there and she has a link party every Tuesday. Go check out her blog to see what everyone else is working on.
 That is it for me for today. Moving has made me assess my stash situation. I will share tomorrow.

    1. Join as you go is my favorite way to granny now. It takes a little practice, but it is worth it.

    1. You are sweet. I do like our floor too. They pulled up the carpet and underneath was a nice hardwood floor. When I looked at the house the first time, I was nicely surprised to see it.
