I started my first ever crochet project last Christmas – a bundle of pastel granny squares, that I originally planned to make into a blanket.
Sadly six months on, my enthusiasm for the project has all but disappeared. My first granny squares aren’t very tidy and the yarn I used was fairly cheap (and not particularly nice to work worth), so I really don’t think they’d make a very nice blanket. I’m also just a little bit sick of it and know that I will probably never get around to making the dozens more squares needed to make the blanket a decent size…
Despite their imperfections some of the squares are quite pretty, and I refuse to let all those hours of work go to waste, so I was very pleased with myself when it occurred to me that I could string them all together and make sweet bunting instead! Genius.
Right now I’m still in the process of stitching them all together but soon enough we’ll have sherbet coloured bunting decorating all our windows. I think that will be quite cute! And messy as they may be, it’s nice to have found a use for my first ever crochet creations.
