So, you have over 2 kilos of yarn and decide to make mum a blanket. The blanket turned into a snuggle sack. I dread to think how many stitches, each side of the 4 squares was 121 stitches; 2 squares were joined together on all 4 sides add to that 3 rows of border all around. I think I'm #AllStitchedOut ! #Crochet #crochetlover #jamescbrettmarblechunkyglamour #jamescbrettmarblechunky #jamescbrett #closedgrannysquare #grannysquare #grannysquareblanket #SnuggleSack #ThatCuckingFat #ThatCookingFat https://www.instagram.com/p/BoKS7C5ge8o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k7io9luqkpua

What do you do when you buy over a kilo in yarn to make a beautiful project, but the brain says, "Nope, I'm not playing, no matter how many attempts. I like watching you frog me🤣?" (DISCLAIMER: I LOVE the yarns, I've worked with them before. So pretty and 'ombre'. It's the lack of cooperating brain cells that are the issue, not these heavenly balls of gorgeousness!) First you fill the swear jar numerous times Then, create a mountain of tissues, soaked with tears of frustration Then, you stick the yarn in the corner of the room, pretending (a) It doesn't exist and (b) swear under your breath if you do catch sight of its smug expression Then, leave it in the corner until you, and IT, 'get over' your hissy fits Then, discover mum is decorating her room in greys and silver THEN, create a granny square blanket with foot 'muff' 'cos her feet are always ice cold And, FINALLY, you return to the swearing as you wonder what you were thinking when you said, "Solid granny squares, I can do them!" These aren't granny squares, they are 4 feet rugs of tedium! Just about to finish torment number 2, then I'll be half way out of purgatory! 😂🤣😂 This certainly is a labour of love! When I make the #Youtube video, it will certainly be a scaled down version, with the finished life size samples used only for photographic demonstration purposes of 'making up' (and silent swearing, I want to be monetised not banned) (Harley's in the top picture, just to demonstrate the scale of each monstrosity) As I said before, it's not the yarn, it's the 'Country Route and Detours' my brain goes on since the stroke! #lifeafterstroke #solidgrannysquare #jamescbrett #jamescbrettyarn #jamescbrettmarblechunky #jamescbrettmarblechunkyglamour #lifeofayoutuber #crochet #youtubecreator #crochetlover #crochetcreations #RealityOfAYoutuber #beginnercrochet #beginneryoutuber #labouroflove (at Coventry, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnORGBLgb5b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=peimzj5abgqc
