2015 is really turning into year of the granny square. That’s not all I’m working on, but granny squares make up most of the projects I’ve started and finished by the year’s fast approaching midpoint. (Midpoint? Augh, where did it all go?)

Anyway, yesterday I completed the last of the 50 squares that will come together into a pair of ridiculous shorts for Shef, which I last wrote about back in April.

Excited by that progress, I finished the first row, of two, for both legs and tried the thing on. Shef & I are different sizes, but you get the idea.

With only one row of squares, the inseam is just 4.5″, too short for my taste. All that’s left now is to work the final green rows, joining as I go, on the last 10 squares, maybe add some edging along the leg bottoms and top, figure out some way to keep these up (lacing is in order, I think, and maybe some elastic), and sewing in ends.

Oh right, see all those ends hanging down?

At 50 squares with 4 color changes per square, that comes out to 8X50 ends to sew in.

400 ends.

Gah. My favorite.

Me: I just want these 4 books from the library. ☺️ Also me: These other 6 books look good too. 🤓 Also also me: What the hell, I don’t even have time to read any of these until like a month from now. 🙄 #librarybooks #summerplans #dreamingofsummer #semesteralmostover #booksbooksbooks
Yes I know exactly how ridiculous I look and I can’t say I really care. Gorgeous weather today, enough to make my friends who still have snow jealous, I’m sure. Don’t worry, we might get snow again on Saturday! I’ve got to enjoy this while I can. #spring #sunshine #outfitoftheday #springweather #finallyspring #springsick #ootd #wiwt #whatimwearing #protectyourskin #spf50
“With a crochet needle in hand, we join more pleasantly in any conversation... and under all circumstances, it is better than... flirting fans, like the Spanish belles — or flirting without fans, as sometimes happens to the ladies of all nations.” From “Needlework and Its History” in Mrs Ann S Stephens’ The Ladies Complete Guide to Crochet, Fancy Knitting, and Needlework, 1854. 😹 #crochethistory #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetgirlgang #virusblanket #babyblanket #crochetlove #betterthanflirting??
Best part of a sunny Caturday is the pile of fresh laundry. #caturday #caturdayafternoon #weekendvibes #blackcat #blackcatsofinstagram #instacat #laundrycat #bliss
So happy that my dear friend @misstraveler1 received the gifts I made for her sweet little girl. Yes, that’s the blanket Gossy didn’t want to give up, and I also made a little vest and a granny square bonnet. I got the yarn from my grandma last summer when she was downsizing her stash after moving from a house to a small apartment. I really like thinking about where yarn comes from and where it goes across networks and generations of women, bound together with warmth and love. #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #grannysquare #grannysquareblanket #grannysquarebonnet #crochetforbaby #crochetlove #grannysquares
