Purple Haze Crochet Craze

It has been a while since I have shared a crochet post, so I thought it is time to show what I have been up to.  I love starting new projects and have great difficulty completing them!  I may adopt the 'One a Day' method which appears to be getting very popular.  I can manage one 'Mini Granny Square' a Day and still dabble with the numerous other projects I have on the go.  I was inspired by the scarf I spotted in a shop window in Glastonbury High Street.

Part of me wishes I had bought this scarf, but if I had of bought it I would be thinking I should have made my own....can you see what type of person I am?  I dread to think who made the scarf because whoever it was, wherever they are, they were not paid enough if it can be sold at that price!  I don't know if machines can make Granny squares, if they can I want one!!!  I have to admit with all my crafting projects there is something comforting, therapeutic and gratifying about the good old Granny.  I love the Granny look.  I didn't have the colours to replicate the 'Shop Window Scarf' but somehow in my stash I have collected several shades of purple, it wasn't deliberate and I don't know how it happened.  Somehow purples have infiltrated my stash more than any other colour.  Good job I like 'The Colour Purple'.  I am hoping to be wearing my Granny Scarf with pride some time over the next couple of months.  Yin and Yang, I love Granny Squares but Oh sewing in all those ends....

Crochet Granny Squares

Here are some of my new Granny Squares.  This repair job is going to take a while especially as I am so divergent.  I have also been attempting to crochet my first pair of 'crochet' socks.  They do not look very impressive to show you yet though and I have been spinning like crazy over the Easter weekend.  I will photograph that when I have used my niddy noddy and wound the yarn into a skein.  I have had to give up on the Crochet Bunting idea I had for 'The Royal Wedding', maybe I will plan better for the next 'Coronation'!   

I really like the Stylecraft 'Meadow' with the pink.

and more pink...

and the pink with the pink. 
The ends are tucked under for the purpose of the photograph.  I must be disciplined and not leave them, to avoid a marathon end sewing in session.  By the time I am fifty this blanket should be near completion!
