Irish rose granny square blanket finished

I finished the Irish rose granny square blanket, and I love it.


I couldn't resist taking it into the garden and photographing it there, along with our lovely toy GR. We've all been enjoying the beautiful spring weather lately - doesn't it lift the spirits? I can't wait for the Spring-Proper to start. My husband and I have already started our spring sowing - we've sowed? sown? anyway, whatever it is, onions, broccoli (calabrese), leeks (ooh, I'd love these to be successful!), tomatoes, bush and tall (whatever the opposite of bush is...!), lettuce, some herbs (the herbs are part of a gift set from our lovely daughter, thank you babe,) and one or two others. We have a few fruit trees too, a new blackberry plant and 2 rhubarb plants, and all these are in a tiny area at the bottom of the garden., just beyond the slabs in the photo above. I'll take some photos of it to share with you all. Now we need lots of sunshine and a few showers (not too many, please) to help all our seedlings on their way.


And the blanket...? I made it in aran weight yarn and I already want to start another one. My inspiration was Nicki Trench's book, Cute and Easy Crochet. I love this book - the projects are presented so beautifully, and the photographs are stunning. My sister saw the granny square bag pattern in the book, fell in love with it, and made it in no time. So now I want one of those too!

So many projects, so little time... *sighs dramatically*
