GAD week four

This last week was quite busy so not much crochet done, but I did finish the multi coloured scarf - I won't put another picture up as it more or less looks the same as last weeks picture.   I have also finished off one half of the G.A.D. scarf.  There are still a few more squares to do, but here is the half that I have crocheted together with slip stitch.   I think it looks great and I am longing to wear it.

I did wear the multi coloured scarf on Saturday and it was very warm - too warm and I had to take it off! 

Another exciting happening last week is that the U3A photography group I belong to has chosen my photograph of the multi coloured scarf to be displayed, with others, on the photography group board at the AGM.

Now I have to find a new crochet project.  My husband wants me to make him a scarf in Air Force Blue.  I have some yarn in this colour over from the multi coloured scarf, but I will need to get more.   Small problem here as I can't remember where I got it from!  I think this means a trip to all the wool shops that I visit often!  I might leave my purse and credit cards at home!

However, Air Force blue is rather boring, so I will be looking for something more colourful to do as well.

Happy Grannying!!

Granny Square a Day - week 2

Week 2 - I have complete one square each day, but not yesterday as I was out all day.  I have 12 squares completed and tonight I will have to 'catch-up' and make two. 

My Sage Green yarn arrived on Tuesday, (all 500 grams of it) but I am still undecided as to whether to use it or not.   I want to continue using the beige colour as the edging.    I think it might be an idea to make up a couple of squares with the green colour and see how it looks. 

I mentioned last week that I searched in all my local shops that sell wool for this particular Sage Green colour.  I could only find it on eBay in 500 gram balls.   We went to another shopping area on Friday, one we don't visit often. You guessed - I found a shop selling just that colour of yarn.  Oh well, at least I have plenty for other projects.

I am still working on the multi coloured scarf.   I now realise that I have made it too wide, and I will have to fold it in half lenghtwise when wearing it.  Otherwise, I think it looks great, and it will definitely be very warm to wear.  I hope to complete it this week and will post a picture when done.
