Posie Gets Cozy: Little Gray Grannies

December 17, 2009

Little Gray Grannies

Uh oh. I sense another crochet freak-out coming on. I hooked up one little blossom in a few minutes the other night just for fun and now . . . now look. A creeper.

I don't have time for the Siren call of cashmerino and baby alpaca right now. Must. Walk. Away. Run. Though it's really tempting to succumb, especially as it is cold, dreary, dark, and rainy outside.

Details to come, I promise.

I have used this puff stitch on many afghans. It's so pretty.

Gorgeous! Can't wait to hear more.

I just have to tell you that of all the blogs I read, this one just sets the twee and squee part of my heart to pitter pattering.

Thanks, really love your work.

Usually granny squares do nothing for me...
...but these are delicious.

Oh, I want to be doing this right now.

Oh dear! I love, love, love the crochet. Colors, pattern... Must. Not. Do. It. Now.

Posted by: Lee | December 17, 2009 at 11:36 AM

How absolutely beautiful. The colors are so warm and cozy. "A creeper"...that's funny.

I have never liked crocheted granny squares until this very second. Brava!

Posted by: Laurie | December 17, 2009 at 11:42 AM

Oh, very inspriring. Makes me want to learn how to crochet. EEEKK, another obsession....

How could you run from something so lovely?!

Posted by: Colleen | December 17, 2009 at 11:43 AM

Oh, Alicia, I'm so sorry, but I think this is absolutely gorgeous!! Continue!!! Yippee!!

ah: as a tall grey-haired grannie, I first thought this was a slam on all us *wise* elders of the fiber clan, so how refreshing to see the true grey granny squares that are marvelous. Happiest of holiday seasons to you--love your insight & vision.

Arrghh. Between you and Lucy (Attic24) I will never again be able to finish a project because you keep inspiring me to start new ones. Not that I want you to stop. My empty wallet and my dirty house and my tired-of-frozen-chicken-fingers daughter want you to stop. But why should they dictate how I spend my days? OK so maybe Abigail should have some say so in the matter, but she's just too young to understand obsession and compulsion yet...she'll figure it out :-)

I have some grannies, I am working on - I have a question: what is the best way to stitch them together? Do you have a favorite method?

Posted by: Claudia | December 17, 2009 at 11:57 AM

gorgeous! I was just thinking about gray granny squares and how I love them...love the color combo you've got going. I had just favorited this photo http://www.flickr.com/photos/woodwoolstool/4187847001/
I feel very inspired!

Posted by: Jenn | December 17, 2009 at 12:07 PM

OH MY! Aren't they pretty! Well, all I can say is that I would have a very difficult time pulling myself away also. Just a few more days. . . I may have to beef up my crocheting skills! I've always loved granny squares. Martha had some beautiful ones a few years ago in her magazine. Saved them, will save yours.

Posted by: Karen B | December 17, 2009 at 12:09 PM

I need that granny square pattern! Gorgeous!

Posted by: Jesselyn | December 17, 2009 at 12:15 PM

Two of my favorite things: the color "gray", and "grannies" (since I am a Grandma now!). Love your work Alicia! It's beautiful...:)

Posted by: Gloria | December 17, 2009 at 12:15 PM

Hi, thanks for making me smile today...I have ALWAYS wanted to learn hoe to make that pattern...any info on the directions or details...you are awe so inspiring.
Happy Holidays
