Guilty confession

I have a terrible admission to make.


I don't like making granny squares.


I know I know, a crochet-addict who doesn't like granny squares, like an alchoholic who doesn't like cocktails (mmmm, cocktails...)


I just find them a little tedious, all that going round and round in circles..ok..squares...the same stitches over and over and over again. to create lots of little identical, or very similar, componant parts.


*sigh*


You know what I really like?  Crocheting them all together...


...seeing them come together to create the whole...

...finally seeing the fruits of my labour...

And it's always handy to have a little helper on hand to test the softness...

  1. Well, even if you don't enjoy making them, the result is just beautiful. Such yummy colors! And it looks nice and soft and squishy -- those are two very happy little feet in the last picture :)
