My Title Granny Square Queen

When I first joined campground_crafters I was just learning how to do a granny square. Once I learned how to make a granny square blanket it was all I made for the first year. LOL and today was a reminder of that time in my life - which had earned me the nickname in our group "Granny Square Queen"... We have 6 king sized granny square blankets in our rig... Today is laundry day and well guess what got washed...

My husband constructed a couch that converts into a bed on the lower floor so that we can use the over cab as storage... And OMG it has open the floor and looks huge and clean in here. In the next couple of weeks with purchases of new bins we will re-organized the entire rig so that we can be 100% clean/organized/set-up/and just plain happy again... I am so jazzed because I will get to blog and share our adventures and tips with our followers... Jorge has a lot of sewing he'll be doing to in the next couple of days too - popcorn fabric will be used on the body pillows and my black and white granny square will set off the them in our movie theme rig... Thrilled...

I really hope to get some sales going in the store to pay for all of our storage container and gadgets to make like easier for us - since we are keeping "MrCrafty" another year... So with Easter nearing soon stop by any of shops and see if there is anything you need or want and remember we do custom orders (like yesterday a lady order applique stars and I had them in the mail with 2 hours of her order - I made them that quick to get them out of the rig ASAP - I like my customers happy...). One of our stores is having a sale so be sure to check them all out..

Granny Square Itch

When I first starting crocheting - my very first thing I learned to do was the GRANNY SQUARE. Although I laugh now but it took me 3 months to learn such an easy thing. No I am not stupid but I let the stress get the best of me. I figured because I am a girl it would come natural. Yeah right... However all is good and now I can have some great laugh over it. But Jorge is still recovering from all the hooks being thrown at him.

It's been about 2 month since doing my last granny square. I've been very busy learning new stitches and add in some knitting (which did come a lot easier for some weird odd reason). But that crazy itch is in place and whats on my plate for today...

I was on the INET seeing what new things are being done with granny squares. Color palette have gone brighter. And wow the patterns options have grown... There are a lot of groups out there that are charity based and groupie support. I even signed up with some.  http://theroyalsisters.blogspot.com/2011/01/granny-all-square-in-flickr-group.html
