NOTIONS: The Unfinished College Granny Square Blanket

College Granny Square Blanket via homework (7)

I’ve mentioned here a few times that the teen is leaving for college soon. We only have one kid so we are going to be empty-nesters in about a week and half. When people say it goes by quickly, they ain’t kidding! When my son started high school I had just started this blog and wanted to learn to crochet. I must have mentioned it in a post because a reader sent me a crochet book.




College Granny Square Blanket via homework (4)It was such a sweet gesture and I taught myself how to make a granny square. I printed out loads of inspiration and instructions and set out to make a blanket. I figured I had four years to finish and even if I only made a few squares a night, I’d be done in plenty of time.

College Granny Square Blanket via homework (5)I really think I can still finish it by winter. If I stick to my plan and make a few squares every night I could have it wrapped up and under the tree when he returns home for the holidays. The problem is, I don’t remember how to make a granny square. I’m going to have relearn and hope I can pull it off.

Thank you so much for stopping by.
