myLot granny squares commmentary
| Granny Square patterns wanted! | | I am looking for a good pattern for crocheted granny squares. I have a lot of odds and ends of wool that I want to use up - and I think making a granny square blanket would be good. I like making small things as I tend to get a bit bored with larger items - so it needs to be a granny square that could be made in an hour or two at most! | |
| | | What do you do with your yarn remnants? | | My mother used to make granny square afghans with her remnants. I personnally hate making granny squares...what do you do with your remnants? Put the to use or just toss? | |
| | | What's your favorite way to make an afghan or crochet blanket? | | What is your favorite way to make an afghan or crochet blanket? Do you have a particular crochet stitch that you prefer to use? For years, I tried in vain to crochet using the more fancy popcorn stitches and such. And, I was fairly successful. Except by the time, I had crocheted one foot of fabric, I was bored with the project. Then I discovered the granny square afghan. I adore making granny square afghans! Much more than crocheting or knitting almost anything else. It's a simple pattern that I know by heart. For the most part, granny square afghans are simply small to medium sized square blocks of crocheted material whip-stitched or sewn together to form an ornate blanket. Very simple to do. You can get the pattern at any craft or yarn store. What I love about crocheting block square style blankets is that you only have to bring out one square at a time to work on. Unlike traditional knitted or crocheted blankets, where you might have a very large piece of crocheted fabric spread out in front of you while working, the granny square is small (6 to 12 inches per block) and can be worked on anywhere. Often times I have started and finished several crochet granny square... | |
| | For all of you crafters out there | | When you start a large project, do you get bored with it and if so what do you do then? Have you got unfinished projects that you need to get back to? Do you make you gifts for birthdays and holidays or do you buy them? does it depend on the person? How do you get yourself to go back to a project that you have set aside and want to finish?I have a crochet Christmas tree skirt that I started two years ago for my mother-in-law. It is now an unfinished project. It was all granny squares and has to be connected. I do make some of my gifts but I know that my sister-in-law would never accept a handmade gift. if her gift does not come from Younkers or Dillards it is not good enough. I can't answer my own last question because I can't get myself to finish that tree skirt. | |
| | What is your favorite pattern to crochet? | | I have found that my favorite pattern to crochet is granny squares. I don't know why lol. They are so versatile. You can make coasters, placemats, afghans etc with them. What is your favorite pattern to crochet? | |
| | Favorite Arts and crafts you liked doing as a kid and still do now? | | What are your favorite arts and crafts you liked learning as a kid and still do now? For me there were so many different ones I either learned in grammar school or later in life:Weaving- I started out with the small loom with the sock loops then upgraded to a small weaving machine with yarn when about 10.Origami-I learned this after watching Shari Lewis on Lambchop's Play along make a box and heart. I had did those two patterns plus made a bird, airplane, house, and a giraffe.Beading: I learned this in school first then start making cute bracelets that had my name.Scoubidoos: The girls I went to school with, made these for their keychains.Knitting and Crocheting: I know this actually would come under needlecraft. I learned this in my early 20s and learned how to do coasters, granny squares etc. | |

I've posted quite a bit of my various crochet afghans and such, and if you've followed any of them you know that I prefer to work my things in the back and forth patterns and can't do granny squares to save my life.I was looking at various patterns to use up scraps and have seen some afghans that are made with just regular squares or rectangles crocheted and then stitched together in a patchwork-type style and they are just as pretty as any I've ever seen. They're not grannies, but to me they look even nicer.Squares would be so easy to work up quickly when I'm waiting at the doctor's office or wherever, so I think I might start doing that. My problem is joining them.I know some are crocheted together, some are sewn, and I'm not sure which would be easiest for me. I know I can look up the various ways to do it, but I was hoping to get some input from those that have done granny (or other 'pieced') afghans as to which way would be the best for a novice at joining pieces. | |
| | I am getting closer and closer to square | | Ok I just watched youtube last night to learn how to do granny squares....the results?
I have one "square" that is clearly a circle turning into a hat. Second one is more of a granny rectangle...thats close to a square right???
I can see where I am going wrong so I am going to just keep trying and maybe today i will succeed and be a square lol.
Do you know how to do granny squares? Have you checked out youtube for learning to crochet?
Oh and a big thank you for the mylotter who mentioned youtube in another discusson about crocheting. | |
