I got this kit, just to try out a granny square blanket (8x9 squares).
This is a never again pattern, and never again yarn. This is never again for sure, not going back in 6-10 years like cross-stitch. :)

I think granny squares with a single color sounds like a fun and relaxing crochet. And if you like this kinda patterns my total respect for you!

I'm happy, now I am done with the squares. This will be a very small but nice blanket at the end.

That's not a bad idea. I just finished a tatted creeper - so many split rings - using the same method. I only posted it on craftree tho...

850 square is a lot. Like a lot lot! How is the process going? Will you shar e wip pics?

Ok I will not make any comments on my progress :D (let's just say I stalled).

I got that wrong, 868 is the total number of squares, I only need 449 for the background. Anyway here's my spreadsheet

It's just a simple countif to tally the squares, and I timed myself so I can work out the time needed to make the squares. Joining them together is going to be another battle that I'm not looking forward to :D

Wow, just wow!
Have you thought about using different blues? A tiny bit of hue difference maybe help with the task mentaly.
Like only 34 of the lightlight bule, and only 34 of datkerlightblue and so on?
I hope your husband loves you to the Moon and back ... Abot 868 times :D

Dammit this is such a good idea, it would have made it cuter and less boring! I've already bought all the yarn though, and I started attaching some blue squares to the sprite. I'll definitely take the idea on board for the next project!
