Project Complete: Stash-Busting Granny Squares

It feels so good to cross things off of my To Do list!  Theses Granny Squares have been in my crochet basket for a long time!  I finally decided what to do with them.  I made a small blanket for my very own little bundle of joy that is due in April. 

I only had a handful of squares, and I had very little ambition to make any more!  Blame it on the baby brain or the brain cells I lost in college, but I couldn't remember how to put the squares together.  Luckily, Lucy from Attic24 had some instructions on her site.  She is a go-to-girl for all things crochet...even though she lives across the pond.  She was even the inspiration for the colorful yarn in my stash!  Thanks, Lucy!


This little blanket will be the perfect thing to throw over our baby girl's infant carrier during the cooler spring weather.  In a couple of years, she will be able to use it to keep her dolls warm when they nap. 

Project OVERDUE: Stash Busting Granny Squares

Perhaps it's the so-called "Nesting" phase kicking in.  Whatever the reason, I'm tired of looking at these granny squares in my crochet basket.  It is time to get this stash-busting project from Winter of 2010 completed!  When I started making granny-squares over a year ago, I had no plan really....I was just wanting to use the spring colors that I purchased earlier in the year.

Since I'm fairly sure I made up the pattern (like I do on most of my projects) and have since forgotten it, I'm not going to make any more squares.  Sure, I could count out the stitches and do a couple of trial squares to find the right dimension.  But I don't have the patience for that....I just want to get this project out of my basket....not add to it!

What should I make?

Perhaps I should make a small (really small) baby blanket?

A scarf?

I don't even remember how to put granny squares together!  UH OH!
