Yay bobbles! That's all I've got, it's midnight.
There was some banter about bobbles looking like boobies but I cut it out for your sake. Be thankful ;)

oooo I really like this one. Another one that would be quite lovely as a full blanket. I think a baby blanket would fit this one nicely.

This one's name loses any sense after my color changes. Oh well, it's still a pretty square. I did have a few problems with this one puffing up in the center so it did need a good blocking to lay flat.

This one definitely has to be blocked if you use an H hook for it.Yeah… I just realized this is the exact same patter as the the first square I made for this project, The Tricolor Square from the 200 Crochet Blocks book. So if you're looking for a free alternative to that pattern, this is it.
I'm on vacation this week, so I worked ahead to be able to share my grannies with you this week. With that said, I took all these photos at 3am this morning so yeah… there was flash action and they're a little more saturated than normal.
Yay for posting blogs from Dairy Queen :)

I really like the construction of this square. The mesh in the middle makes for a really neat looking design.
I got my battery charger back! So I'm working on getting the old posts from this week posted.

This is a fairly boring square. I think this is why I'm almost finished with this book. All that's left are the boring squares. I do like how the flower is constructed though.

I really like this square and it's really simple. It would be a perfect square to try out the popcorn stitch for the first time.

Colors Used: I love this yarn's Grey Beard, Peacock, Hot Rose, and Sungold.
I like the lacy squares, but I've been trying not to make too many of them because I don't want them to change the feel of my blanket too much. This one's not too lacy though. It's just right. Oh and while I was sick a wrote up a pattern to my circle granny square on day 137. So check it out. It's not my best effort, but it should suffice. I'm feeling much better by the way... finally!

Hook used: H
Colors Used: I love this yarn's Grey Beard, Hot Rose, Peacock, and Ivory.
I was saving this for Christmas for some reason... but there's really no reason to save this because of its name. I forgot to post this yesterday because we were too busy celebrating my niece Olive's first birthday! I'll post today's square after I finish it.
Pattern: #64 Sunshine Lace from 200 Crochet Blocks for blankets, throws, and afghans by Jan Eaton
Hook used: H
Colors Used: I love this yarn's Grey Beard, Ivory, Hot Rose, and Sungold.
In the book, this square is done in one color. I wanted to play off the name Sunshine and kind of give it the look of a sunset, by adding in the pink.
