I Have a new Hobby or is it an Addiction?
The secrets out!!!
I have a new hobby or an addiction.GRANNY SQUARES
I used to crochet as a kid with my Mom and haven’t done it in years. My friend Kris makes some amazing things and she has inspired me to take it up again. She gave me a quick lesson by text on what the different labels mean on the yarn, the weight and what hooks to use.
Feeling pretty confident I headed to the library where I checked out several books, next to Hobby Lobby to get some yarn and hooks. Now I was ready to start.
I have a love for granny squares and couldn’t wait to get started. I quickly discovered I couldn’t read a pattern so YouTube here I come. That was the answer, great tutorials and I could pause the video any time I needed to.
Any guesses on what these Granny Squares will be?
Stop in Friday for the answer.
I learned to crochet last fall and fell in love with crocheting Granny Squares. They are so easy and the results are endless. I really like your color scheme you have going on and I’m not sure what you are planning, but I’m sure it will look wonderful whatever it becomes!
I am so excited for you! I love to bring a friend to a hobby I so love!! And crochet and knitting to me, is therapy!!! You certainly never missed a beat, and your work is lovely. Since I know what the finished product will be, I shan’t say. But I can’t wait to see the big reveal. You will be obsessed, just like I am, me thinks!!!

It is great you can crochet Dawn. CC and I tried to teach ourselves this past summer and we failed and it was pretty funny.
Great job. I have been wanting to take up crochet again, but just haven’t found the time. Love your granny squares.
Hugs,
Laura
you are SO right, with my sewing if all else fails, you tube it!! Have fun with all your squares
I learned to crochet as an 8 year old at our friends’ family campground where we camped for the whole summer for several years. I still love it to this day. Your squares are very pretty, and if you are not making an afghan (my first guess) I would say a table runner or bag.
So pretty, Dawn. I really want to learn to do that, but not until next year — heehee! Yes, I’ve already started using that phrase!

Hi Dawn! Good for your decided to crochet again. I love to crochet and have just finished an afghan and need to post about it soon. Now, let’s see – are you making an afghan? I love your squares and the colors are so pretty!!
Be a sweetie,

Those are so cute, I love the colors! Can’t wait to see what you’re creating!
