I would so love to be sewing and crafting at present (and that is NOT normal for me!). I cannot crochet to save myself (have tried many times) but I like to knit (haven't done that since I can't remember) and now I am buying AFGHAN patterns so that once it gets cooler I can knit to my hearts content. I will be thinking of you and wondering what your JOINED granny squares are looking like!!!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299613470793735079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-440360700061853322010-03-31T22:15:14.489+11:002010-03-31T22:15:14.489+11:00Good on you Jeanne.

Perhaps this is the beginning of you becoming more creative - apart from your writing, cooking and gardening of course.<br /> Lucy is learning to knit. She has finished making her needles and has embarked on her first square. This will be made into a toy sheep.<br />Have you recieved an email from me lately I'm wondering if an email I sent recently didn't get to you.<br />Are you holidaying?<br />LouiseLouisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343902100920059797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-10726555168900470902010-03-31T06:17:08.112+11:002010-03-31T06:17:08.112+11:00Good for you!

Although I...Jeanne, yet another thing in common! Although I've never mastered the granny square (thanks for the YouTube tip above!), I've crocheted off and on for about ten years now. All I've ever made are scarves and two ponchos. I like scarves because they don't take WEEKS to make, and I feel like I've accomplished something. I've been working on a wrap for dd10, but set it aside to read. I can't read and crochet at the same time, LOL!<br /><br />Your granny square is lovely. I think croceting is a perfect camping activity.Ellenhttp://bluestockingbelle.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-143485269626703118.post-45978160665002415832010-03-30T11:17:45.240+11:002010-03-30T11:17:45.240+11:00You are the second person talking about crocheting...You are the second person talking about crocheting (it must be a sign of encouragement) - I have been planning to teach myself this winter - I will go out and by the hook and wool and start as I would like a granny blanket by winter (lol - perhaps winter of 2011).

If I start now they are usually big enough to keep me warm as I work throughout the winter.

I made a few blankets that were great on the lounge in winter. Instead of doing just the little squares, I just kept going, and going, and going, until it was as big as I wanted it.<br /><br />Funny thing though, as the years went by, I totally forgot how to crochet. <br /><br />Now I know where to turn when I am ready to relearn. Youtube! Good ol' youtube. I would never have thought lol.<br /><br />And you're right... it is quite addictive. I remember really enjoying it and feeling great when I had finished the job.<br /><br />Ps. the purple you are using is a great colour!Amandahttp://www.amandassecretgarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
