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

How to Knit - The Basics

My love for http://www.youtube.com/ is so real and a site I have to visit almost daily and even multiple time a day even. I am a knitter who dream for the day when I can say yes I made that sweater and "oh so you like my knitted socks"? I shouldn't beat myself up because I have come a long ways - it's only been a year since I started knitting.
