My first crochet blanket

I've had many scrap balls of wool piling up since I was a kid and decided to put them to use by creating a blanket. Though I admit I have bought a lot more balls of wool since... However, approx 1 year later, here it is!

My bright and colourful granny blanket!

I have been crocheting granny squares consisting of four rounds (approx 8cm2), then slip stitching them together. Since then I have researched a few other methods of connecting the granny squares which I hope to try out in future blanket projects.

I temporarily had to stop crocheting altogether at one stage last year due to developing the cursed RSI or crochet thumb - which also proved to be major hindrance to catching the ball at netball! So technically, it should have been finished by now; but I only have 3 more squares to go, then the edging. Yay!
