Although two weeks late, I have begun a project “Fifty Two Granny Squares a Year”.

Week one, “Spiked Lines” is from “100 Colourful Granny Squares to Crochet” by Leonie Morgan, page 38. This is the book that has inspired me to begin this project.

The working with colour chapter suggests a method of chosing a colour palette to tie all of the blocks together. I really like this suggestion and the method is most instructive. My daughter gave me a colour wheel for Christmas because colour theory is not my strong point. I will be using my personal palette throughout this project.

Purple is a difficult colour to photograph,  so where you see a dark blue,  please interpret it as vibrant purple. The blue in this palette is a slightly green, vivid sky or even sea blue.
