Book Blanket {post #2}

 


An updated photo of my crocheted "book blanket" for this year.

We are 6 months into the year, and obviously (he he!) I am not even to a halfway point on this blanket.  Sigh.  I'm squeezing in reading time when I can.  The blanket is about 67 inches long, if that helps give you an idea on the size it will be.

In the beginning of 2025, I dedicated a hand crocheted granny square for every book I read this year.  The granny squares are crocheted with scrap balls of yarn, matched the best I can, to match the colors of the book cover of the finished book.  The granny squares are then attached, one at a time (join as you go) with a unique stitching.  We are absolutely loving how it's turning out.  

You can read about the first post about this blanket HERE.

The blanket is looking great and is a perfect way to use up scrap balls of yarn. If it takes longer than a year, oh well? It's yours and will get done when you finish it! Enjoy the process.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

Thanks Betsy, I just got back to reading books again. I don't often make something for us either, so it's been fun too.
