Hello again,

It's very windy in Zeeland..but we have sun!!

The weather is great for making long walkes on almost empty beaches.

I discovered another "Zeeuws meisje".
She is bleached out of sitting in the sun for to long.

I purchased some cotton yarn in a wolshop in Westkapelle

And thanks to this great tutorial from Lucy of attic24 I learned how to crochet granny squares. Thanks Lucy for your clear pictures and instructions.

That's it for now, the sun is calling to come outside.
Have a wonderful day!

So happy you are having such great weather on your vacation! I'll bet you'll have the greatest suntan when you return. Take care!

I love your granny squares. I was just thinking yesterday that I should make a blanket out of granny squares. I learned to make them when I was just seven years old. My mom taught me and I would make rugs.

I can just hear the waves now crashing on the beach! Oh, how I long for summer. Thanks for the pictures!

Hello Corry!
I've also had my eye on those granny squares! Attic24 has such beeeeeeuuuutiful colors. Makes me want to crochet an entire afghan of them.
Like yours so far!
Enjoy the process!

It looks so gorgeous over there on the beach!!
Very nice job with the granny squares, I like the colors. I myself have not been brave enough to try making any yet. I am terrible at following patterns, perhaps I should check out the tutorial and give it a try!

Nu ook nog haken, het houdt niet op bij jullie.
Leuke kleurtjes heb je gekozen voor je deken. Zo'n vakjes deken staat ook nog op mijn lijstje om eens te maken, maar of dat er echt van komt. Ah we zullen zien.
Alvast een fijn weekend gewenst.

Superleuk om granny squares te haken. Heb er ooit een hele sprei van gemaakt. Wat ik wel wil opmerken is dat je 1 losse in de hoeken hebt, als ik je een tip mag geven: 2 lossen is in mijn ervaring beter. Bij 1 losse heb je niet genoeg lengte om de vierkanten aan elkaar te zetten, ze gaan dan wat trekken.

Corry, your granny squares are so eye-poppingly cute! You have such a flair for combining gorgeous bright colors. Aren't they fun to make?!

It looks like a great place for a holiday love the photo of the waves crashing on the pylons.
