Granny squares rock!

Somewhere in the recesses of my mind I remember making a blanket from granny squares when I was young. It was pretty ugly and all the granny squares were joined together with black... urgh! (please note that the blanket above is not mine! It's from here).

But it's a nice memory. I know that once I used to know how to crochet... my granny taught me how.

I have been inspired by other peoples blogs lately, namely Pip from Meet Me At Mikes and her aim to make a granny a day.

So this afternoon I popped out and bought myself a crochet hook and some wool. I don't think I could make a granny a day, I don't even remember how to make a granny square, but I'm keen to relearn the art of crocheting (boy, my nana will be proud when I tell her!).

I might just have to make myself a granny square bag... or maybe a granny square scarf... or the kids some granny square hats... or another blanket. The mind boggles at all the options... I could even make hubby a granny square laptop bag... ;)

Anyway... hopefully within the next week I will have a square to show you!
