Sunflower Granny Square Blanket

Update on the post 48 Granny Squares Now Connected – I now have 84 sunflower granny squares joined together vertically! I am plugging along 🙂

So 7 out of the 11 rows of 12 granny square each, are done and just 4 more rows (48 granny squares) to go.

Then I am of course going to single crochet them together horizontally and add a single crochet border all the way around to anchor everything. After that I will decide if I want to make a fancy border, etc.

Revisiting a Hat I Started Last Winter

I made 137 sunflower granny squares while riding in cars, planes, trains and sitting at events beginning May 2024. Now that the making of the individual sunflower granny squares is done (and the blanket is finally being assembled) I needed another portable project.

So I pulled out at hat project that I last posted about in December 2024 – The Purple/Violet has Returned!

I used a variegated ball of yarn I found thrifting with little idea of what the different colors would be since it was already rolled into a ball and I could only see a little of the color changes!

It was my leap of faith hat!

So on Friday John’s son Z was visiting and we took him to the Denver Film Festival and saw the premiere of the film Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, starring Danile Craig, I brought my hat and worked on it in the car on the way to the event and at the event before the film showing began (we arrived early to get good seats and had a bit of a wait before the movie started).

Here’s some additional images from the festival including the lovely Chihuly chandelier that hangs in the Ellie Caulkins Opera House where the film was premiering.

The film was really fun and I recommend it when it premieres on Netflix in December.

  3. Your fingers have been moving non-stop. It’s nice to see the hat-in-progress make an appearance along with the granny square progress. We love the Knives Out series so thanks for the heads up that its coming soon. It’s nice to see you enjoying life.
