Crochet, too

Sometimes it is a good thing to switch from always knitting.  Crocheted granny squares are simple to create and singularly adorable when they're finished.
Best relaxation therapy ever:  Our PAL's new blanket for her crib.

Granny is moving along

I have made 36 of the 48 squares for the Granny Square Afghan.


I have not blocked any of them yet. They are lying quietly on the futon in the back of the cottage waiting for their stretching, shaping, and misting.

Each flower shines in its own way, reminding me of a bloom.

I will slip stitch the squares together, then crochet an edging. I haven't decided on the edge trim. Does anyone have a suggestion?
