grannies

Granny-ing. 


I promised pictures and couldn't contain my excitement anymore. No more waiting for better lighting! :)


This aqua blue in some of the squares is a new addition. My mom spotted the need for a lighter blue the day we decided on a blanket from her yarn, so when I saw this blue, my heart skipped a beat. Honestly, this aqua blue isn't a stranger to me, it made my heart flutter last summer when I was making my granny stripe blanket and stumbled across it in the store. It's obviously my favorite color to work with, along with that beautiful light pink!


My mama and I noticed yesterday that we were missing some colors: yellow and white. The yellow wasn't a surprise as my mom is by no means a fan of the color. The white however we had to think about adding, but we decided it would be distracting. It's beautiful the way it is! :)

Thanks for reading, have a happy Friday night and weekend! :)

    1. Thanks! :) I'm in love with these colors too! It's hard to try to keep up with my sew-ends-in-as-you-go rule because I get so easily carried away with the joy of making them! :D
