Pattern: Square 72 from Leisure Arts 99 Granny Squares to Crochet
Hook used: J
Finished size: 8.5"
Colors Used:
Michael's Loops and Threads Impeccable Worsted in Aqua and Soft Fern.
Hobby Lobby's I love this yarn in metallic pinky toes and buttercup.
Not a super unique square, but cute nonetheless. I like that the center is made with treble stitches to make a bigger center.

I've said before how much this book has surprised me -- well this is another piece of evidence. This is such a cute pattern and very eye-catching.

This is a cute little square. It's very simple, but has a lot of potential. It would make a great baby blanket especially worked up tighter with a smaller hook.

As many popcorn/cluster/puff stitch flowers that I have made, I have never made one like this one. The center and the clusters are all treble stitches which makes this really big flower. It's really cute!

So I decided to brighten this one up a bit by making the popcorns different colors. This is pretty easy, but not for the faint of heart when it comes to weaving in ends. Thankfully these popcorns were close enough that I was able to do them with the same strand of yarn on each side.

Yeah, this one is pretty boring. I decided I needed some monochromatic squares in this blanket to even it out. I'm not exactly sure that was a good idea at the moment.

This is easily the most complicated square I have ever made. Thankfully the pattern is pretty easy to follow and has plenty of diagrams.

This is a pretty small hexagon. I think it's about 4". I like the little cluster flower in the center.

Even though this design is kind of weird, I like it. It's unique. I'm in dire need of unique squares at this point.
I'm sooo excited to share that my Granny A Day Project has been featured in an article about 365 projects in Flow Magazine. Read about it on the craftyminx blog here. And tonight I'm going to be catching up my blog posts again so get ready for a bunch of posts at once. My one-year anniversary got in the way of things ;) you can see all the grannies I've completed so far here. And I promise the posts are going to be regular from here on out -- well at least for a few weeks ;)
