Halfway There?

It's been a while since I've shown you some progress on my big granny squares blanket. I start each round with a different colour in the sequence. I've got all 7 squares for the first order of colours and I'm now working on number 5 for the reverse order



I've still got a few ends to deal with although I have mostly been crocheting over them as I go. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to do 5 x 4 squares or 6 x 4 squares.  I think I'll aim for 5 x 4 and see how it feels when they're joined together



I think it will need a big border too so it's framed nicely. It's nice getting a hint of how it's going to look. It's intended to be a sofa blanket really, just something cosy for the children to snuggle under and to add some colour to the room. Not that it needs it lol!



There's been some exciting developments going on in the Soaring Sheep household, we've been applying for a mortgage for our first house and last Friday we were finally approved! No moving date yet but it's so exciting that after 11 years we're finally going to be able to own our own home.


And I can fill it with colourful projects! :-p
