I have lots of Debbie Bliss Rialto DK left over from previous projects and a whole box under my bed, shh don't tell hubby! A while back I decided to make a pile of granny squares out of some of the stash, on Friday/Saturday I decided to join together the 25 I had previously made, don't they look great.
I love to join mine with join as you go method because I like the vintage look and you get to use up more stash. I learnt a few years ago using the Attic 24 method, lots of photos and easy to follow in the link.
I'm going to make another stack soon and join these when I have another 25 squares. I plan to have 100 granny squares in total, all using the basic granny square design using all the colours I have. I'll edge it with a few colours and a picot edge to finish it. I like to keep it simple and let the colours do all the work.
Its a great project to take out for the day if you are travelling and you get to make a blanket in the summer when working on larger projects is uncomfortable in the heat. And the colour range in the Debbie Bliss Rialto DK range is so lovely and some of the discontinued colours I managed to grab in the sales earlier this year. You could try with any DK yarn I just like the feel and warmth of the merino against my skin. It will be the perfect blanket for chilly days curled up on the sofa.
