Granny Square Blanket for MIL



Granny square! This project was the first time I used granny squares. 

Finished product! I did this in three days between in laws.

Folded up. I was afraid it wouldn't survive the wash so I washed it and sure enough this place where I had a bunch of slipped stitches that I frankensteined came undone but it was better because when I redid it I was able to do it properly and you couldn't tell. 

Tip: If the yarn is cheap enough and the work is flat/uncomplicated enough, don't be afraid to wash it in the washing machine!

I also washed it with fabric softener and at first I was really disappointed that nothing happened, but then when I went to fix the patch, the individual yarn strands were really soft; what was still not as soft was the yarn all together.
