Okay guys, it's almost that time. For over 14 months now I've been carting around an ever-expanding tote bag of squares -- all kinds of granny squares, checking them off my map one-by-one, as I ever-so-slowly approach my target of 81. That's a nine-by-nine panel blanket, for those of you who have never embarked on a massive granny square undertaking before.
Sometime around November, I realized that I'd actually reached my goal, and had exactly the right number of each type of square that I'd aspired to...which was only mildly exciting, because that meant that the long, arduous task of weaving in about a billion ends was to be my fate for the next two months.
So I was actually kind of shocked the other night at Knit Night, when, just like that, I reached into my bag and pulled out the very last square. Guys, I think I'm done.
So now the real fun begins -- laying all these guys out, grouped by square design, to double-check and make sure I have as many of all the different designs as I should...
Oh, and of course the centerpiece, by special request of this blanket's recipient.
This is not going to be your average granny square blanket.

OMG, this is going to be the best granny square blanket EVER. I adore all those different style squares. Can't wait to see it all done!
Thanks, me too! Looks like we arrived at the joining phase at almost the same time :) Now the big question is where am I going to find the space to block it...
so nice that my first knit & crochet nite was at yarnia when you finished your last square. I love seeing the photos of all the squares now as well as the future layout! I hope it is enjoyed.
I know, that's so fun! And the best part is...I actually get to work on something NEW at the next Knit & Crochet Night! :)
