granny squares

I thought I would get a bit ahead of myself...not unremarkable for me....
I decided, as Spotlight had a huge sale on wool, I would stock up...
Now I have decided to make a blanket using granny squares!
there will be pic's to follow, but the basic idea is:
Using 4mm needles, and 8 ply wool, cast on either 22, 33 or 44 stitches, depending on how big you would like your squares to be (I am doing 44).
Then just work garter stitch (knit) 30, 45 or 60 rows and cast off.
That's it!!!
Make as many as you like, then join them for a cosy blanket, lap rug for the outdoors or a car blankie for a little one.
the great thing about granny squares is that they are easy and it isn't as daunting as trying to knit an entire blanket!
Watching a movie or a couple of tv shows, you can knock over 2 or 3 squares.
It is also a great way to use up scraps of wool, as a multi coloured blanket looks sensational and very individual!
