Granny Square Contest

Posted by Elaine Jones on April 17, 2018 at 4:32am in MEETING YOU AND MEMBERS PERSONAL BLOGS

Hi Everyone

Just for fun, I've designed a couple of granny squares for entry in the competition being run by allcrochetpatterns.net.  Voting is now open and, whilst I really don't expect to win, it would be nice if I could get a few votes!  The links are shown below.  Each link will take you to a page displaying all the squares, with mine shown first.  My personal favourite is the Rose Garden Square.  The other one was meant to be called "Wheel of Fortune" but I had a bit of a technical problem and the title didn't transmit....  You get 10 votes (just click on the heart at the top right of the picture of the square), so do have a look at the others - there are some stunning designs.

The prizes include yarn, books and crochet hooks.  Since virtually everything I make these days is for KAS, in the unlikely event I do win, KAS will win too!  Eventually the two squares I've entered will be upsized to 8 inches.

Here are the links:

Thanks for reading this and, if you do vote for one of my squares, thank you very much indeed!!

    I've had an email from All Crochet Patterns showing me the 3 winners. I must be out of step because I didn't vote for any of those 3!

      Nor did I, Patricia - but I don't mind being out of step!

      Elaine, sorry you didn't win, but your squares were winners with us!

        Totally agree with Lesley.  :))

          Thanks so much for your kind support.  I do think the winning squares were lovely and deserved the prizes.   I hope everyone who voted enjoyed looking at the entries.

            Elaine, looking forward to seeing the Rose Garden square in a blanket !

    Nice seeing a fair number of solid squares, which are better for the blankets. But some of those squares I've seen elsewhere. There's always one isn't there 

    • Elaine Jones > ailsa campbell May 1, 2018 at 2:16am

      I thought that too Ailsa but I think the three winners were original so I guess all's well that ends well.

    Thanks for voting everyone and for your kind comments.  I'm not sure the 'Wheel of Fortune' would be suitable for a KAS blanket as it's a bit holey (!) but the Rose Garden would be good.  If I remember how I made it, I'll post it in the members patterns sometime....

    Voted and shared on the UK KAS FB Page

    I have just voted, your squares are lovely Elaine, good luck!
