A tribute to the crafty ladies in our lives…
This blanket has been inspired not only by my love of granny squares but also by memories of wonderful crochet and knitted blankets around me as a child.
Visiting my Nanna’s houses was always a favourite thing to do and there was very often a colourful crochet or knitted creation around to wrap up in at night. For many of us, those clever and creative ladies are also often the ones responsible for guiding us on our first crafting steps and so I wanted to pay a little tribute to them.
NOTES
