Just grannying

It amuses me that I originally took this photo on my big camera, then saved it on my laptop, emailed it to myself, saved it on my phone, then played with it on an app (Afterlight) for the surround and a dusty filter, THEN saved it on my phone again, put it on Instagram, emailed the final result to myself, saved the photo on my laptop, then uploaded it here for use on the blog....all for five minutes of sunshine and photo out on the back lawn. 

Anyway...moving right along....this is the start of a pansy/violet themed granny square blanket.  I've done a few more squares since, but have put them aside to finish up a medal ribbon themed scarf (for my father), and to get starts/finishes on another couple of blankets.  It's a never ending story, and a great way of using up the stash.  I'm finding that, as this lean year progresses, I'm working my way through some lovely fibre, and have only purchased minimal amounts in order to fill colour gaps where needed.

The plan for the squares above?  Once I've finished eighty in this fashion, I'm planning to edge each in a neutral colour, then join.  It'll be an eight by ten mix, with a broad neutral border.  I can get about five of these middles done in a night, and it's proving to be very relaxing...unlike the photo saving and communicating process!
