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!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Lorna! It’s refreshing to read about how you used creativity and the meditative art of spinning to find calm during such a challenging time. I particularly enjoyed your insights on how crafting can be a therapeutic escape. Your journey is truly inspiring and resonates with many of us who turned to hobbies for comfort. Looking forward to reading more about your spinning adventures!
I really wish my textbooks were this entertaining and easy to digest. You’ve made learning about this topic so much more enjoyable.
