Earlier in the summer I had made a decision to do a year long project along with my friend Anne. It's called Beach Walk, designed by Marion Mitchell.
When I saw how lovely the finished blanket was and the inspiration for it, I was hooked...literally!
Now mind you I haven't crocheted a single thing since I was a young mom over 40 years ago, so it has been a big mind stretch for me to find my crocheting groove again for sure! After a number of failed squares it finally clicked. Aren't the colors pretty?
After making all of the beginning squares it was time for a bigger mind bend for me....joining them! This was something that I had never done, so it meant watching multiple videos. I found this one to be the most helpful. The designer also created some videos, one of which will really help me with the next step....joining all of these little mini squares once I weave all of the ends in (yikes!!)
Yep...there are a lot of ends! I crocheted all of these little mini squares while we drove back and forth from Prince Edward Island. I should have woven the ends in as I went along, but they were so addictive to make, I just kept lining up the colors. I can't wait to see how they look against the portion of the blanket that is finished.
Next week I will finish up with our vacation pictures and maybe even have theses little squares at least semi attached if not completely
I hope you have a wonderful weekend in your corner of the world...
