Working on the giant granny square

The giant granny square works up very quickly.
Row after row. Still struggling a bit with the colours.
It's not that I don't like them, but there's just so much contrast... ;-)
I think I will make another giant granny in my 'own' colours.
However, first have to finish this one!

PS. My hands are not as gigantic as might seem from the picture, lol.
it's only the throw that's giant. ;-)

  3. I like it! I think it is good to work outside your comfort zone when it comes to colour every now and then. I did it last year with a throw made to look like a stormy autumnal sky and very few people liked it, but it is now one of my favourite blankets.

  4. Kleuren, daar kan ik zo mee worstelen. Maar ik vind deze wel mooi hoor!

  5. I still love this a lot but understand the need for using own colours. I am struggling with the same at the moment and decided to create a shawl rather than a throw as the colours are just not singing the way I would like it to. Love the pic with the hands - super nice!

  10. Herkenbaar, dat worstelen met kleuren. Op foto's ziet alles er altijd zo vrolijk uit, in je eigen kamer is het vaak heftiger, vooral de contrasten. Hoe dan ook, je enorme vierkant ziet er geweldig uit!

  15. It is really lovely. I always think that if you use a palette that's not your usual, it's always hard to feel completely sure about it. But take everybody's word for it......it really is looking good! xxx

  16. I LOVE the colours in this blanket. I LOVE this blanket. If you ever have a chance to tell us what yarn you used that would be great.

  17. The colors you picked are very interesting and cocordinate well. I think of making one blanket like this as it's simple and doesn't involve a lot of mental work.
