Knit and Crochet Away!, What's on the Design Wall

What’s on the “Design Carpet”

tierneycreates: a fusion of textiles and smiles

I am continuing on my challenge to post to my blog every day in celebration of October 2023 being my 10th anniversary of blogging month. And if you all can’t keep up no worries, this is WAY too much posting – ha! I think once October is over I will go to a once a week posting schedule (or perhaps a little more frequent than that…we’ll see…).

For today’s post, here is an update on this post from July 2023 – What’s On the “Design Carpet” – Road Trip Granny Squares.

I continue to crochet granny squares for a distraction while traveling as a passenger in a car or while traveling in general. I am currently working on an 80 square blanket (8 by 10) and I’ve progressed from this in July 2023:

To this (only 7 more granny squares to complete to make 80):

I don’t have them in their final order before they are joined together, I just semi randomly put them together for this update photo.

I store them in this bucket bag I made a couple years ago, as I complete them:

I have mixed feelings of getting near the end as it will be 1) time to work on joining them (a sort of pain in the booty) and 2) I’ll have to start work on a new one (and I am sort of attached to this one, ha) when I am a passenger in a car/traveling.

Luckily I have a couple blocks of this one already started (see post Plastic Yarn?) so this will be my next “road trip blanket” to work on!

  1. While I do like the grey palette – I think I’d get tired of these too soon and perhaps never finish the project! There are so many squares to make. I do know I’d need more fortitude/disciplined to stay shaded in grey and not slip in a few yellows, turquoises, corals, limes, etc as accents! Thankfully, you’re doing it, so I know it will be a designer-delight (and completed!)

    1. I had a lot of grey yarn for some reason that I wanted to use up/put a dent in and plus I might be influenced by living with a grey dog, ha! I do like your idea of grey with those other colors you mentioned – that would be cool! But next one I am departing from grey…well it might have a little grey… 🙂
      Thanks for stopping by!

  7. I want to apologise from the point of view that I’m more busy right now, and by the time I get to bloggers, I’m only reading, the occasional reply but always a like 🙂
