All the best people have the name Holly. My best friend is called Hollie, a family friend had the sweetest dog named Holly and now, Im so exciting to be testing a new pattern for Holly Woodward! Its called the GiGi Jumper and it is a granny square jumper!! Now I have a little confession to make...
...I have never made a grand square before.
I've been crocheting close to 10 years and I don't know why but I just never had the urge to make them. They seemed old fashioned and outdated. I wanted to be cool and modern, but now I feel like an idiot. They are so much fun, and now I have 10 years of catching up to do!
The pattern is designed to be a stash buster but I didn't have any of the right sized yarn so I had to go out and buy some! I'm not mad though, it meant I got to buy some more colours and try a yarn that I hadn't used before. The only one my local Michaels had in the right size was Patons Astra and they didn't have many colours so just got the 9 that they had. I think they go really well together though and I cant wait to see what they all look like together. I've still got a ways to go, but now I've got the hang of granny squares I think I'll be able to breeze through it. If you want to follow along, I'll be posting regular updates on my Instagram but I'll be sure to do an update here next week, fingers crossed I'll have more done by then!
In the next few weeks I plan to get some stuff up in the online shop that I've been procrastinating on, so keep your eyes out for that!
Hope your week is going well!
