Blocking

I'm still plodding on with my granny square blanket, but I thought it was time that I started blocking the squares in readiness for joining them together. I haven't yet decided whether they'll be sewn together or crocheted, I'll look in to it in a little bit more detail once I'm ready to start, I've still got quite a few squares to crochet before I'm at that point.


I pin the square to a piece of foam before spraying with tepid water and allowing to dry. It helps to define the shape.


I haven't counted how many squares I've crocheted now but I think I'm just over two thirds of the way through.


At the moment I'm concentrating on my knitting more as I'm in the middle of knitting some Christmas presents and I want to make sure that they're completed in good time. There'll be plenty of time for crocheting my blanket when they're finished.
