Top 5 things to crochet when it's hot and number 1 is ironic!

CAL Granny Style

Published on by Nicola Florence @ ayarnyrobin

February is just in view, in fact it’s approaching so quickly it may possibly arrive before I finish this post…you see every time I have sat down to type, something has needed my urgent attention.  It seems this has been the reoccurring theme here at the nest this January, so much so that not a lot of hooking has taken place!!

My crochet has followed me around in this bag…but has not come out to play since Scotland 😦

But… I have plans a foot for February…which start with being immobile thanks to some planned foot surgery early next week.  On the bright side this will require a period of recuperation mainly with my foot up and sat right next to a basket of yarn… hooking perfection!

First on my hooking list is a delirious granny CAL (crochet a long) which begins on the 01st Feb and which is being hosted by the lovely Rosina over at Zeens and Rogers…do hop over and check out one of her podcasts they always make me smile and always inspire me and of course feel free to join the CAL too.

Thinking about what to hook for the CAL has got me looking at all things granny and I realised that the simple treble stitch nestled next to two other simple treble stitches…classic granny stitch…is actually one of my go to stitches…

So I am going to try and post short daily posts throughout February inspired by the daily prompts and crochet out rather than being too spaced out on pain killers…I hope!

Have a great weekend.

  6. Sorry to hear that you need surgery. That is never nice, but sometimes a necessity. All the best.
    On the bright side you will have time to crochet, and i love the yarns and ideas you have planned. It will make the time pass just as quickly as January.
    Take care and look after yourself. xx

  8. I do hope that everything goes well with your foot surgery and that you have a quick recovery. Sounds like you have great plans to keep you busy while that foot is propped up. Love the Granny Squares! Such happy colors and they look so awesome! Can’t wait to see what you make with them.
