crochet pinning : cute blankets

Hello my blog buddies and happy, happy Friday! I hope you have all had a fantastic week and are enjoying the warm weather, especially all of you here in the UK!? It looks set to be a fab weekend with the start of the summer temperatures and you know what that means rights!? Picnic weather! Woo-hoo! I am so, so happy about that I can't tell you! So of course my thoughts are turning to picnic blankets of the crocheted kind and I find myself wondering if I have the time to fit in such a project amongst all the others I have going on right now? Even if I don't it's not stopping me from gathering lots of cute inspiration over on my Pinterest pages...

6. { PIN } gipsy granny square finita | di cuore

A granny 'sampler' blanket has been at the top of my 'must crochet one day' list for as long as I can remember and I think it's high time I got on with it. It would the perfect picnic project too, with just a ball of yarn and a hook I can crochet any kind of square I fancy. Making an odd square here and there would mean I could spend the whole summer pootling away on it and by the time the autumn comes around I'd finally be able to cross that one off my list. Perfect!

I really need to practice my tapestry crochet skills too and Claire Montgomerie's fab polygon triangles would be the ideal project for it. Find this pattern is in the current issue (53) of Inside Crochet. I love the colours she's used int this version, aren't they yummy!? I'm still loving those rich sapphire blues!

So tell me, what's at the top of your 'must crochet one day' list? Because I know you all have one ;)
