Pastel granny squares

I rarely go into town these days, but when I do I always have a quick look in Abakhan. Last time I was there I found some Twilley's 'Freedom Gorgeous' in the bargain bin, discounted by 50%. I felt the need for an easy project, so I bought 10 balls with which to make granny squares. It's a bamboo yarn so a little bit splitty, but not so much that I can't work with it. And, anyway, I like bamboo yarns for their slight sheen. I bought 7 different colours and 10 balls in total - one ball each of lilac, teal, beige and yellow and two balls each of blue, pink and green. 

I'm intending to use one ball of each colour to make as many 4 round granny squares as I can. The duplicate balls will be used for bordering the squares once they're joined. 

Each granny square is made using three colours with the fourth round being the same as the first.  Being a statistician, I've worked out that there are 35 colour combinations if choosing 3 colours from 7 and I'm going to make at least one square with each colour combination. This might be slightly sad, but I don't really care! 

I'll be joining the squares after I've made them all. Me and join-as-you-go don't really get on. I am not easy going enough about colour placement.

Other weekend news involves missing the school Summer fair for an emergency trip to the dentist following a scooter accident (on the way to the fair) and two chipped front teeth - newly erupted second ones, unfortunately, but, well, these things happen I guess.

It's also my wedding anniversary tomorrow. I always miss not having my wedding dress when our anniversary comes around - it got red wine spilt down it and I claimed on the wedding insurance. In return for their payout I had to send them the dress for 'salvage' (whatever that means!). It broke my heart to send it off as it was the most beautiful item of clothing I've ever owned and fully made to measure (when you're as short as I am an off-the-peg wedding dress just isn't going to fit). It was beautiful French lace with a pale rose sash...

I can't really complain though as I was sent enough money to buy a brand new one and I doubt I'd ever have worn it again!

I hope you're all having a great weekend x

Edited to add: seems like I'm not the only one that likes to work out individual combinations of colours. There's a good combination/permutation calculator on the 'mathsisfun' website that will produce a list of perms/combs if you want it to.
