Make it Monday ~ Stained Glass Granny Complete ~ 4/27/15

 

 

 

Last week, this was the progress I had made on my Stained Glass Granny.

 

 First, I finished all 35 granny squares.

 

 

Next, I crocheted all the squares together.  This took me a while.  It is a tedious process that I don't really mind, but I was still sore from surgery so I had to take a couple breaks after wrestling with the strips of squares.

 

 

After I got them all crocheted together, I added border rows, alternating between color and black.  I finished it off with a black scalloped edging. 

 

 

And...Stained Glass Granny is COMPLETE!!!

 

 

 

 

 

So, what do you think of my Stained Glass Granny?  Have you made one similar?

 

Now, on to my next project.  I think I'll call it "Sunny Blue Hawaii".  More on that later...

Make it Monday ~ Stained Glass Granny ~ 4/20/15

 

 

 

 I have four crochet projects in the works right now.  The one I'm currently focusing one I'm calling "Stained Glass Granny".  I just love working with granny squares.  It is so fun to finish each one and have small accomplishments along the way.

 

I'm starting with a basic solid granny square.  I'm then outlining it with a row of black.

I'm using a total of 8 different colors.  So far, I have 22 squares completed. 

The finished afghan will be 5 blocks by 7 blocks.  I'll then add a border in black and the colors used in the squares.

 

I've seen much more elaborate stained glass squares, but I think I'm going to like the finished product.  I hope to get a good bit done this week as I'm recuperating from gallbladder surgery and have to take it easy.
