Share A Square

Aside from my own blanket, I’ve been working on another big granny square project, this one for charity – it’s the brain child of one woman, Shelly and is called the Share A Square project.  Thought I’d share it at the crochet along before the month is up (just barely!).
The afghan is 48 squares created [...]

Happy Leap Day

I can’t believe they gave it a name other than Feb 29, but there you have it.
Anyway… You may already have seen this on the CRAFT: blog today, but I thought it was adorable and great for the last day of Granny Square Madness! Oddly, it kinda flows into our next theme, no?
Enjoy! [...]

Small Crochet links please!

Thanks to those who responded to the new theme post. I think everyone likes the idea of Small Crochet – a broad theme where you can crochet anything that’s smaller than about 6 inches. Hopefully this will provide lots of quick projects so we’ll all have time to fit in a few!
Here are some ideas for things that [...]

Triangle granny

 Here are a couple of tries at a different shape granny.  Found this pattern among others on line and decided it was the one.  Just used some regular Red Heart yarns with  “I” and “G” hooks.  I think I’ll probably use the large hook and start on a new afghan.  I’m also testing out a 1/4 square granny log [...]

The $1 Shawl… a sort-of Granny post.

Hi kids! This is not a granny-square post, except that it is… it starts off with no more than the usual chain/join/crochet-chain-crochet patterns!
Funny, the things you can do with granny circles.

I call this the $1 Shawl. Funny story! I bet my mom $1 I could finish it in a week.
I lost.
And for [...]

Another Granny Project

Thank you to everyone who commented on my giant granny square afghan question.  Blocking … who knew it was actually something IMPORTANT to pay attention to? (Consider that I’d only done scarves before, where guage and blocking aren’t as essential as on other projects … lol)
 There is another granny square project that I picked up [...]

I have three granny square projects going right now!  One is my ongoing attempts to finish the very first crochet project I ever started (3.5 years ago).  It’s undergoing changes right now.  I knew so little about crochet then that it was the simplest [...]
