Pinwheel Block

Variation from original block I made a year ago (Scrappy Rug: Pinwheel Block)

This time I'm using just 2 yarns for each block :)

and we will be following same old scheme but this time I'm only doing first 8 rows (because I need these blocks to come out same size as 4round granny square would :) ).

Sooo .. lets just start by picking one dark and one light yarn.

 

Granny Square tribute blanket

Granny square tribute blanket made one cool square at a time!

It all started with LOVE sign inspired by Hunters Design Studio that i sort of free-formed using basic knowledge of solid granny square, my own Granny Diamond (the solid long one :D ) and the same joining i used for my triangular madness triangles, as well as plain stripes that formed E :) joined each letter with flat zipper method and was happily surprised they all did fit together just perfect

.. and so the middle piece was born :)

Edging of first Granny Square Tribute blanket

While writing this title i realised this is not quite the first Granny Square Tribute blanket I've made although definitely the first one I called that way :)
First one was the baby blanket for Oli and second one was BigBrightBlanket if you remember those two :)

BUT the important part Granny Square Tribute blanket has edges! (moss stitch for the win)
and even more important - CORNERS :) two simple ones and two fancy ones - just to stretch my wings and get out my comfort zone where I like to use plain simple and straight borders for my makes :)

So here they come!

Tribute to Granny Square day :)

Last year I made a Starfish granny square for crocheters favourite holiday - Granny Square Day - dreamt up by amazing Susan @suregal27 :)

And well obviously thought that there should be blanket of all the coolest 4 round granny squares there is so I started hooking! Granny Square Tribute blanket - sounds nice right :)
Finding 4 row granny squares was quite a challenge tough .. but do not fear - I have quite a few great patterns linked to this blanket in my ravelry project page so do not hesitate and go check them out ;)
for some i tweaked the patterns a bit or made just first few rounds tough ..
