Granny Triangle Crochet

I like to have portable craft on the go to cater for any crafting need. Small time slots here and there: in the car waiting for an appointment, lunchtime at work, a trip to the park etc. Crochet usually fits the bill because the stitches stay put with a safety pin in the working stitch.



This project has been sliding in and out of view since April. I took it on holiday and it was a very satisfying poolside distraction.



The yarn was donated by a work colleague. No ball band but it was a silky and drapey acrylic of some kind so I started a granny triangle on a 2.5mm hook. I would have liked a little more but beggars can't be choosers;my late grandmother was very fond of that saying.




Just in the nick of time this one is for Heidi's class teacher who has helped her make so much progress in maths this year. The children have one more week to go before the big six week Summer holidays.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a good weekend. Jo xx

  2. Lovely - teacher should be happy! It's the bibbly bobbly edging that makes it I think (buttons? can't quite see on photos). I love a shawlette, the shape is just so adaptable, flattering and wearer friendly.

    By the way does anyone else have to go through 6-7 stages of I am not a robot, in order to comment? That has been usual recently. You would think clicking on street signs or cars was simple but apparently I am not very good at it! It's not just on this site.

    1. Actually, just twice today to make me look like I'm exaggerating. It was easy today though - no bits of street signs in different squares, just whole ones in self contained boxes......but up to 8 goes on this post, so far done the roads, cars and street signs. Back to have another go.

    1. The edging is the last of a mix of Greek ceramic beads from beadsite.com. They look like little clay washers painted in different colours. Few pink ones left now. Jo x

  4. Lovely colour. Looks good as a shawl/neckerchief/cowl.

  6. Wow, that gift certainly beats a box of chocolates or a 'teacher' mug. My mum used to say 'beggars can't be choosers' and so naturally, do I.

  7. I'm loving the colours, and amused to see that you colour coordinated your nail varnish while on holiday. A lovely surprise for the teacher too.

  10. My nan also said beggars can't be choosers and a whole host of other 'lessons for life' type things!
    This scarf is beautiful, it'll be ideal for keeping this teachers neck warm on playground duty next winter.

  12. It is so lovely of you to make this beautiful scarf for Heidi's teacher, Jo! I told Teresa that I was thinking of giving away the shawl I just took years to finish, and she was somewhat horrified, and reasoned with me to keep it for myself :) Wishing you a happy week! xx
