I know. You just glanced at the photo and thought "whoa, whose blog am I on, anyway?"
It all started in April, I was with the Empress of Granny Square, Ellen Bloom, in LA. You can't hang with Ellen without a hook somehow finding its way into your hands, and a granny square springing forth. At least I couldn't.
Last weekend, my friend Julie asked for a lesson. Since my granny square before the three in April was, like, in my teens, I thought I'd practice a little.
And one thing led to another. I'm thinking granny square scarf. These are 5 inches across.
Truth: I was also thinking afghan. But I realized 15 squares = a pretty decent scarf, 99= a decent afghan.....yeah. Scarf it is.

Bwahhh HaHahahaha!!! I've hooked you into the Granny Square web!!! I knew you'd succumb!
Thanks for the photo and shout-out, Gale...welcome to Granny World!
Yeah, Granny Squares are tricksy that way... I've got half an afghan tucked away in a bag somewhere deep in the stash.
However, if you make them into a longish vest that ties in front, I'm doing an intervention.
ellen, if only you lived closer! my granny squares get half way round then flubb up! help!! (i am trying to get used to not having two sticks!)
They look different from the granny squares I crocheted in the 70's. Hmmm, what is it? Oh, yea, the neon acrylic just isn't quite the same vibe as the yarn you're working with!
Crocheting granny squares is kind of like riding a bike. . . you can still make it work after decades of neglect!
I would so wear the vest with the tie in the front!
Making the granny squares is the easy part---it's joining all the little rascals together that always killed me.
