Katja
Toni
and Becky
I mean, come on, really?!
I am using the same video tutorials and THIS is what my first one looked like:
KID YOU NOT!
Laura emailed me this picture yesterday and said that it made her think of me :)
I am sooooo obsessed now with this stupid granny square that when I actually DO learn, my house will probably look like this.
Help me!!!
i started seeing the granny squares everywhere and absolutely LOVED them... showed them to my sister and told her we had to learn to do that and she said "oh, i already know how. i'll just teach you"
ReplyDeletedoooo....
:)

ps... if i can (eventually) learn you can!! my first pot hold looked like a triangle (instead of the required square...) haha
You can do it! Next time we see each other, if you're still learning...I'll sit down with you and we'll make three in a row so your fingers will remember how to move with the crochet needle.
ReplyDeleteIt's my new mission in life!
Wish I could help but you do make me laugh. ;) You can do it!!!
ReplyDeleteaww you will get it! i have faith that you will! i just tried it this weekend for the first time... it is addicting! i'm afraid if i don't stop then my house will look like that picture as well... and i'm sure my husband would't like it much :)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain...lol. I just did my first scarf (b/c I can't even do a Granny Square yet) and it looks so silly and lumpy. Oh well. :)
ReplyDeletehaha! that granny square room is AWESOME!
ReplyDeletemy mother-in-law tried to teach me to crochet a granny square a couple years ago and LET ME TELL YOU it was almost the end of me.
at least you can knit! :D
Looks like granny squares are the next big thing... everything old is new again :) Urrghh... and I'm just relearning how to knit. It's going to be a crafty autumn, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteYikes - that really scares me! I want to learn how to make them but haven't tried yet. Watched those videos that Rachel posted and they scared me even more! I'm with you on this one - good luck!
ReplyDeleteYOU CAN DO IT!
ReplyDeleteI want to do Granny squares too :(
ReplyDeletelove the room of yarn, i'm relearning crochet and knitting (relearning from what i use to know as a kid), just finished my 1st coffee coozie last night. i imagine the granny square will be coming up real soon. i may have to do some more coffee coozies tho, 1st one was a little rough.
ReplyDeletemy granny squares are still VERY silly looking, and i started trying waaaayyyy back when rachel first posted about them--it's honestly taken me that long to figure out the tutorials (and they're still not turning out quite as good as i'd like).
ReplyDeleteyou'll get it, i know you will! if i kinda can, you totally can!!!
p.s. sent the quilt square today (a day later than promised, i know but it's really hard to catch the post office at an open time with school and all that). hope you like it!!
No I don't know how either lol!! Mines a circle, I was trying to make a square lol
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain!! :)
And you're right the crocheters lie!! Knitting is way easier lol
Have you tried crocheting a scarf or anything yet? Because then you can just get the movements down for crochet and THEN learn the granny square. That is what I had to do.
ReplyDeleteKnitting confuses me SO much. Haha.
I believe in you, Janel!!!!!
Love,
Jess
You had me laughing and laughing. You are so funny with your yarn going every which way. te-he!
ReplyDeleteI could not do it for one week. Every night I was sitting there feeling like a granny square dropout.
Then I made a circle. It was a shape, so I was estatic!
You will do it and I will see giveaways in the future of you doing granny sqaure blankets. I just know it.

i'm cracking up.
ReplyDeleteGranny square heaven..who knew
