I've had my eye on the Crochet Girl Gang CAL for a few weeks before deciding to try it! I've never crocheted a granny square before and this was a lovely way to learn how to make 5 different motifs. The video tutorials were very helpful too. I chose bright and cheerful colours- I think my 4 year old cousin will like this the most! Right now I'm sewing up all the ends (as best I can).

stitch you used but how you joined did you attach the first row or what ? Mine is still in piles, because I am not sure where to start. You did a great job.

First I laid out all my pieces to see what my arrangement would be, then I started in a corner and lined the sides of 2 pieces that would be next to each other, together. I usually started my sewing from the piece on the right and anchored the beginning of the sewing in the corner/first few stitches of the two pieces to secure them. Then sewing the two together and securing the ends again! I always worked in the first rows of each piece (so the last row when crocheting it), e.g. the stitches at the top of the last row.
I didn't join the pieces in any order, I started with two colours on one side of the blanket but eventually went across and began randomly joining colours left to right and down depending on my mood :) there are mistakes all over my joining, but don't be afraid to start putting it together!
I think the video in the blog post is really helpful i

I still need to order more white yarn to finish the edges - it's not perfect but I'm still learning :)

I think that I'm still too beginner to learn how to block the pieces, let's hope that the blanket will look okay once I sew it all together :) I really love the shades Washed Teal and Blush Pink at the moment - Seafoam Blue is lovely too!
