Here are just some of the granny squares that have inspired me to pick up my hook and try again!
And yes I know that one of them is a circle, but its a very perfect circle I just had to throw it in!

Simple changes in color, stitch, and pattern can transform a granny square to a modern beautiful work of art!
I have been very inspired by the work above and vowed to make my cousin (who is now expecting a baby girl) a gorgeous granny square baby blanket.
I will make sure to post my progress (as soon as there is some to show).
Anybody else weary of the granny square?
Hopefully this will help boost some confidence!
I love granny squares - love making them! They're so quick & easy, I always feel that I've accomplished something, no matter how little time I have to stitch. Here's my problem: I HATE putting them together! Tedious, time consuming, all those ends to tuck in, I get tired just thinking about it! Good luck with your blanket!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I hate tucking ends in, but there are some great ways to join granny squares that take way less time and look great! I am going to start a post about it right now!
ReplyDeleteI stumbled across your site and I'm so thankful! The granny square has been reinvented and the ones you posted look beautiful!
