Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #5

Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Update 3 | Update 4 | Here | Update 6

Update on my crochet skirt! All granny squares were completed, blocked AND sewn together! And it looks fantastic!

I bought lining fabric for the skirt, but honestly I don't think it will be needed!

What IS needed now though, is to weave in all those ends 😰 I also need to make the waistband.

The skirt is the width of my hips (9 squares) so I need to gradually cinch in the waist (there's a word for it in crochet, but it's not coming to mind) I also want to crochet around the bottom edge to 'clean up' the hem.

Still a lot of work, but I can't wait to finish and wear it!

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

Multi-Blue Granny Square Crochet Maxi-Skirt Update #4

Update 0 | Update 1 | Update 2 | Update 3 | Here | Update 5 | Update 6

I'm not done making all the granny squares yet, but I decided to start stitching together the ones I already blocked.

It looks super cool so far! I have I think 7 and a quarter granny squares to make (I have a WIP on my hook)

I'll join them lengthways next and see how everything fits before I tie off all the ends.

I am going to make this a separate post, since the other one got so long.

So, like I mentioned there, I sent my grandma's granny squares off to my Loose Ends "finisher" with the intent of giving my mother the blanket when it was complete. I had NO thoughts in my head at all for saving something for myself.

When I received the box in August with the completed blanket, it had two additional things in it. It had a letter and a bag. The bag had two and a half skeins of left over yarn (please peep the picture of all they yarn I sent this lady, I was SO surprised she was able to use so much of it!) my grandmother's crochet hook, and a single granny square. In the letter, my finisher, Katherine, wrote that she set aside one of the original squares my grandma made--she specifically said the one she guessed may have been one of the first--in order to put it in a central place in the finished blanket. But then she forgot about it when she went to put the blank together, so now there was one left over. She said she sent it along with the blanket, hoping it would still find a home.

So, like I said in my last post, I gathered up the blanket and brought it to my mom....but I kept that lone granny square for myself. I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it:

I bought this little shadow box on Amazon, pinned in the granny square, and added my grandma's hook. I plan on hanging it in my little crafting zone in my apartment ❤️

Just another reason why the Loose Ends Project has my heart in a chokehold. There was so much thought and kindness that went into what Katherine did--for both me and my mom.

I was so enamoured with this blanket that I decided to make my own version with yarn I dyed myself. I actually added a fifth colour later on which is the dark navy you see in the granny squares. This is also inspiring me to recreate an updated version of my celestial themed 90's childhood/teenage bedroom.

A few more pieces of my greyscale blanket. Some more of the granny stitch, hearts, crescent moons, and I even kind of made up my own version of a skull square! <|:^D
