Just before the first lockdown I had taught myself to make the crocheted Mitred Granny Square. I thought it looked really nice and I enjoyed making them. When we went officially into Lockdown, I came up with the bright idea of making one of these squares for each day of Lockdown. I would them make them into baby car seat blankets and give them to charity. Little did I realise what I had let myself in for!
I challenged the family to guess how many I would have to make, and then said I would stop when the shops opened, however I then added a caveat, when a specific shop opened! (Of course, it was one with a large craft section!) Unfortunately, for me, it opened more than a week later than the other shops! I ended up making a total of 121 squares. I used approximately 968g or if you prefer, that's over 2lbs of yarn. I have 10 ends on each square to darn in, that's a total of 1210 ends!!
PS I'm still trying to make them into car seat blankets and second Granddaughter won with 88 days being closest!
