Vintage Granny Squares


I've started working on my granny squares ~ again.  I found them in a storage bin when I was cleaning out my cedar closet a while back.  You may remember them as this:
 
 

All skewered on two knitting needles, held in place, in limbo, for . . .  literally years.  
I'd say, 40 years or so. 
Pitiful. 
 
 I added a second row of black around them and then tucked them away ~ again.  
But fortunately for them it wasn't for countless years!  
I decided today to get them back out today since my favorite the most boring
 sport in the whole wide world will be playing.  
ALL.  AFTERNOON.   LONG. 
I am NOT thrilled.  I hate football. 
 Period.
 
 
I decided to add a row of white to offset the black and to pull the colors out in the centers.
I hope it adds just the right touch. 
I think I may add a add a cute little border around the whole thing
when it is finally put together.
I will be excited to get her done.  She has waited far too long. 
 
Procrastination.  My adversary.
