Welcome welcome welcome to you in our fun experience!!
Do not forget to post your pics in our groups here and here ! and go visit even if you do not want to put pics … there is amazing lovely projects to enjoy looking at 🙂
I made already 30 rounds on mine 🙂 Now every round is much more time consuming … but I am enjoying it to the max (a lot more than the stripy blanket I have to admit 🙁 )
love love love how it’s turning …
so bright and cheery…
Don’t you wanna jump into that pic?
Here it is sitting in the kitchen’s bench with its friend Bouba the bear 🙂
I’ll leave you now with two closeups of my kitchen’s shelf 😉
Thank you sooo much for visiting today 🙂
Have a great monday!

I joined the group on ravelry! My name on there is traciandrick. I haven’t started my giant granny square yet but I will sometime in the next few days. I have been looking for a reason to make a giant granny square blanket. Thanks for giving me a reason lol
Love your sweet kitchen, the little collectables on your shelves are sooo cute. Your square is looking brill its such a fun project xxx

What a fabulous idea! I would like to join it but I don’t know the rules exactly….
And I would have to order more yarn as well since I don’t have a shop round here that sells yarn…gosh…so sad that I haven’t found this blog before!
How long is this challenge running anyway? Can I choose my own colours….aaaand….will there be another challenge (just in case I can’t join now)???
Have a lovely week!!
I couldn’t believe it ! ….I live on the other side of the world and I have the very same cow salt and pepper shakers sitting on my kitchen shelf!!
ps love your blogs and your colourful crochet!
Wow! 64 participants and I am sure more will follow along. I’ve yet to accomplish a granny square. It is only list of projects to try again but keep putting it off. All those rounds and increases really throw me off. :/ Yours is looking bright and beautiful! Have a great week. Tammy
Your giant granny is coming along nicely. 🙂
Hi Angie,
Your giant granny is looking great! I finally can post more progress on mine later on. It has more than doubled from the last time I took a picture.
Love, Love your kitchen decorations, Like the tall couple, but really I like them all, so cute.
Going to post on raverly (my name on there is pisces crocheter) and flickr.

Hi Angie,
I do, I just want to reach out and grab it! Great work and thanks for starting the challenge. It is my first group crochet project and I love it! I’ve even been showing the flickr pictures to people who I am sure are not interested in crochet because I am so excited about it.

I am also crocheting a big granny, and planning the one I will crochet when this one is done. I haven’t technically joined, but I am playing along! Yours is beautiful indeed. Mine is done in red, white, and blue, and I plan the next one to be Christmas colors.
Thank you for your reply….going to order yarn!! O – well…the pics…I guess I need a flickr account? Off to do this now!!
I am enjoying it so much and I am sharing mine on flickr and did a blog post about it today. Thanks for all the inspiration and fun. Twyla
Fabulous and marvellous! I understand vous enjoyed!
Add me in! I am only at 13 rounds but I am ready and raring to go!
Hi Angie, I love the idea of your granny challenge. I’m not in a position to join in this summer, but I may make one later in the year as a Christmas present. Can you tell me how much yarn you would typically use for a blanket? I’m thinking of maybe doing one to go over the back of a small sofa for my sister-in-law but I don’t know how much yarn to order (and I have to get it shipped internationally, so it’s not easy to get another ball or two if I run out!). Just a rough estimate would be really, really helpful. Many thanks.
Great timing, this CAL spurred me on to finish my latest blanket, which is all done and dusted. I’ve sorted out my stash and i’m raring to go, so please count me in. I’ve joined the Rav group Bitsandbobs79. Thanks Angie and love the progress on yours, Libby x
Hi will start mine over the weekend will use 3-4 bright vibrant colours as it’s for a baby
I thought you’d get a kick out of this!

This is turning out to be SUUUUCH an awesome blanket!!! I love all the colors 🙂
What a great idea! Is there still time to join? Do you exchange it after it’s finished or just make it for yourself?
