Granny Square Blanket Finished !

 Good Morning ! Hope you are having a nice weekend !
I finished up the granny square blanket I was working on , using up my scraps. I did the join as you go method to connect the squares , so it went really fast. There's 180 squares .. I used mostly red heart acrylic yarn..

 Don't you love the springy colors :)

 I had trouble deciding on a border , I didn't want scallops or the big ruffle I've been using and ripped out several before just trying something and loving it ! I think this is my favorite border ever !

 I did a row of single crochet around the whole blanket , then 2 rows of half double crochet.

 I attached the yarn to the first row of half double crochet and did a single crochet around the post , chain 3 all the way around. This makes little tailored ruffles. Then for the second ruffle row I did sc , chain 3 in each stitch around the 2nd row of Half double crochet.

 I finished 2 cross stitch pieces...silent night from Country Cottage Needleworks, and another Prairie Schooler Santa for my Santa tree.

 Yesterday my son who is at the University of Kentucky texted and said to watch for him on ESPN college game day show .. So we turned it on and I thought how are we ever going to find him in a sea of thousands of people .. there he is even waving to us :) He's in the grey and that's his dorm mate from last year behind him.. Too funny ! They were all over the TV! Its nice to be able to see him when hes so far away !

I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !

 Have a great day !Thanks so much for stopping by ! I love your visits and nice comments !
