granny squares

around and around and around they go...granny squares have been my winter time filler........

I love the way the colours change when another round is added, and the patterns that emerge when the singular come together to create a whole garment, or blanket.....


There is only so many squares that my two hands can create regardless of how many hours I dedicate to my obsession...ooh I mean passion!!
A little ad in my local newsletter has unearthed a few talented and equally "passionate" woman, all too willing to crochet for me and to be paid by the square..... they can never seem to have enough yarn, churning through ball after ball....


if you have a desire to learn the craft of crochet and want a basic beginners granny square pattern meetmeatmikes have a ripper tutorial, easy peasy and very colourful........
and if you need further inspiration have a visit to attic 24 and you will need no further pushing towards the hook!!

Sewing my granny squares into garments and blankets is just as pleasurable...and the finished item is taa daahed to anyone who gives me even a sideways glance!!



oh crochet....you have been my friend from the days of waiting for my first babe to be born...4 week overdue and with buckets of time to spare, until today when my life is overflowing with kiddies and anytime is the most precious commodity....... a wonderful craft that keeps on giving x
