Weekend-Wonder Giant Granny Square Throw

[gilda_elise]

November 3rd

With many a false starts, I finally figured out how to start this blankety-blank throw. I almost gave up. But I finally persevered, and once I did the rest was really easy. I suppose if I were so inclined, I probably could have finished it in a weekend. But I wasn’t, so I didn’t. What I did do was get the three colors I’d chosen started.



After that, things really did start to take off. The throw just grew…



(Nov 5) And grew….



(Nov 9) And grew!



But not enough. With only the edging to do, I didn’t feel that the throw was quite bit enough, so I kept going, adding another round set (one row of the last color, then two of a color, three of the next color, then two of the last color, then one row of each color.)

Then there’s just adding the edging.



(Nov 12) It is done!

That looks very nice! I'm glad you can still make handcrafts, given that you've said you have neuropathy.

Thanks, I like the way it came out. And because of the medication I take, I hardly feel the neuropathy. There's only a very slight tingling in my hands that I just notice when they're still. The feeling on my feet is slightly muted, but that's it. So the neuropathy doesn't get in the way of my doing anything. :-)

I'm so glad to hear that the medication controls your neruopathy so well! Given all the lovely things you make, it would have been terrible if the ability to do that had been taken from you.

Thanks, me too! *g* Between the medication and exercise, it's stayed manageable. Here's hoping it stays that way. :-)
