Beautiful Bloggers Blanket 2012

Hello sweeties,

Yesterday, I decided to join the Beautiful Bloggers Blanket 2012 held by the wonderful Jill (Stocki). Even though I am a little late, Jill told me that she will wait for my squares 🙂 Youpiiii! I am sooo thrilled to take part of this fabulous project!

What am I talking about? It is a big blanket made from squares from around the world… squares that you have to crochet and send to Jill 🙂 For each one you send you get an entry into the draw to win the whole blanket!

Here are the rules: The squares must be:

100% cotton double knit only.
Any colour
Any pattern / stitch
Any size between 5cm x 5cm to 20cm – 20cm
You can send just 1 or as many as you like. For each one you send you get an entry into the draw to win the whole blanket – so 1 square = 1 entry, 3 squares = 3 entries and so on.

The squares must get to Jill by 31th January but she will wait for yours a little longer if you still want to join in! Imagine a big blanket made from a big variety of squares coming from around the world…Isn’t it wonderful?

So, yesterday night I made 4 squares:

And I am sending them to Jill 🙂

They will be on their way from Beirut to Oxford by tomorrow morning!

So ? don’t you want to join in? come on! It is such a fun and lovely idea and you may win a beautiful blanket crocheted by so many wonderful ladies from aroud the globe !

For more info and to join, visit the lovely blog of Stocki here!

Big big kisses,

GIANT Granny : Tadaaaaaa

Good mooooorniiiiiiiiiing 🙂

How are you?

Feels great to be with you today!

Wanna jump with me in the land of colors to brighten up your monday? Yallaaaa! Let’s make it! Let’s jump in some granny loveliness…

Yes! It is done and I’m crazy in love with it 🙂

My Giant is 48 rounds + the border… It measures 135x135cm…

The yarn is “Nako Vizon” a 100% acrylic yarn crocheted with a 4.5mm hook…

I enjoyed sooo much crocheting this blanket …

Specially the yellow border! (OOH how I love making borders 🙂 )

I used this border as it reminds me of the granny’s small squares… You can find its graphic pattern here! It is very simple to make and it looks great with a granny square 😉

No more words just more pics… 😉

Hope you enjoyed 😀

Welcome ladies to our fun crochet a-long!!

Today I want you to applause our friend AntaraCeletna who has already crocheted 62 rounds and maybe more… 62 rounds !! woooow ! We are sooo proud of you 🙂 and her blanket is lovely with beautiful colors 🙂 Do not miss it: it is here 🙂 You did an amazing job so far AntaraCeletna !! BRAVO!

There is a lot of wonderful blankets on flickr here and on Ravelry here….Go take a peek, it really worth a visit 🙂

Mine has 38 rounds so far and it is very big already…I think it is because the yarn I’m using is a little chunky…

The days are getting hotter and hotter here (36 Celsius) and I have some difficulties putting it on my lap while crocheting 🙂

But I’m enjoying every single stitch …and that what counts 😀

This is my favorite pic so far:

mmmh deliciosa 😀

I’m a granny-obsessed-lover!

and as much as I enjoy crocheting I love looking at everyone’s GIANT and love how the other blankets are slowly getting bigger and bigger …

You are making wonderful pieces of ART ladies! Keep on the beautiful job 😉

Before leaving you today I want you to take a look there 🙂 (miammm that is really delicious 🙂 ) (Thank you Linda for this very cute link !)

Have a wonderful sunshiny week!

To all the others who did not join yet I tell them: we are waiting for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! 😀

To Ohangelina: I did not think about any link, I thought about sharing our progress in each one’s blog:( but it will be great to have a place a link or address where we can all put our pics and progress…do you have something in mind?

To Sonieta: I think 100 rounds will be too much! hehe:) If I can make something between 50 and 100 rounds it will be perfect 🙂

To Rakkie: Sorry but I don’t think that Nako yarn have an online shop:( Their website is: www.nako.com.tr and I did not find there any online shop…It is in Turkish and maybe I did not understand where to search…

To Esther: Thank you soo much for giving me the address of the Nako shop in Istanbul 🙂 It is PARADISE 🙂

To Pati from London: I wish you a very smooth delivery 🙂 Good luck and don’t stress 🙂

To Lizzie: I made for you a graphic pattern for the classic granny square…Here it is:

Sorry but graphic patterns is all I can make 🙁

You have always to add in every new round: “3treble,1chain, 3treble” in each of the 4 corners of every round…

Here is, before I go, a pic of what I did so far (16rounds)

Hope you can join us too in this GIANT challenge 😉 All you have to do is crochet and crochet and crochet a very big colorful granny square…as big as you can 🙂 Very simple and very addictive too 🙂 It will be fun!!

Have a great evening!
