Crochet: Big Blanket with "Granny Solid Square"

Hello, This project is my biggest project ever!
Whole process was very enjoyable for me... took very very long time from me BUT at the end I proud of myself!





One of my friend told me that she bought 2 pillows for her living room, and she adores the pillows. Because she was looking for them for a long time then she saw in the shop and she suddenly bought them without asking the prise :)
Here is the pillow:

I said, OK, I will make a blanket for your living room... Important things the colours... so I tried to find right colors for her, Checked with the pillow... then finally found the colors...



After then I created a Diagram of my project with Excel, here is the Diagram of my project:
according of the pillow, I put the orange colours in the middle, and all borders are turquoise green/blue...


I have already decided to make Granny Solid Square Blanket for her, so after the Diagram work, I started to make solid grannt squares, 126 Granny Square I ve done!!



Then Of course combined each of them together.
This part was the painful process to be honest!
Square to Square, stitch to stitch !!!!








     

BUT at the end I had AMAZING Blanket!
Now time to give/send it to my friend! Let's see her reaction about it!




For my this project I used those videos and tutorials:
I used 4 mm hook and Nako Baby, Luks Minnos Yarn (total 4 yarn + 1 solid blue one)

Here is my Digram:

Crochet: Granny Triangle Shawl

Hello:)

First I made a huge blanket for my Mum, and my two Aunts.
Now I decided to make a "Shoulder Shawl" to my sister in law's mother, Sukran Hanim Teyze,  I dearly Love her! Hope she will like it. When I finished the shawl  I will post it to her and I will put a picture in here:)

I have checked some nice but easy to make stitches from Internet, and I found this idea and love it! We all know the stitch, simply Granny Square Stitch... but this one is Triangle , perfect for my project! Suddenly started.! It is easy very easy to make it!


Here we go!

Yarn: NAKO, Baby Lolipop, 80440
Hook: 4.00 mm

I love the flexibility of this design. You can make it what ever size suits your needs. Here is the shawl I crocheted with this pattern (on below). Choose any yarn you wish for this project. Grap your hook and start!
(Please note that this pattern is not my original design. I created my shawl using the following diagram from GARN studio  and also I really get brilliant help from Brittany"s web page(Brittany is the Founder of B.hooked Crochet)

You will find every details of this project in the links on below. (Pattern Diagram, Video Tutorial. Written Tutorial)
