Pattern: Square 77 from Leisure Arts 99 Granny Squares to Crochet
Hook used: J
Finished size: 7.5"
Colors Used:
Vanna's Choice Baby in Goldfish.
Michael's Loops and Threads Impeccable Worsted in Bronze, soft fern and Aqua.
Hobby Lobby's I love this yarn in metallic pinky toes and buttercup.
So this one is kind of like some I've done in the past, but not 100% the same pattern and I had to share it because of the rainbow colors :) The one thing I didn't like about this square was that all the corners have 1 chain space, when I normall use 2. Yes, I could have changed it, but I've been trying to make all of these patterns as written so they look like they are supposed to for reference purposes.
Have you seen that I'm hosting crochet school on my craftyminx blog? This is a HUGE deal for me, something I've been dreaming up for over a year and I'm so excited that it is finally happening. If things over here are quiet for the month, you'll know why. I'm trying to keep up blogging the granny squares, but I have a feeling just getting one crocheted a day is going to be enough of a challenge!
Do what you can and enjoy your new endeavor!! Your crochet school looks great.

Love your project! :) I was just curious what you think of the Michael's Loops and Threads Yarn? I started a blanket mixing Red Heart Super Saver and Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. I really love the Hobby Lobby yarn - it's nice and soft and the stitches look so much better than the stitches using RH. I HATE the RHSS!!! It burns my fingers and gives me hang nails. o.O So I was going to get new yarn and start over. I especially love Michael's sea green color and I can't find that shade anywhere else! Unfortunately, I have to have my sister buy it and ship it to me because I live 2.5 hours from a Michael's. So I'm wondering how the softness compares to Hobby Lobby's yarn. Thanks!

Its pretty good for acrylic. I love this yarn is still softer and I find that Loops and Threads works better with a larger hook so it doesnt get stiff and I use both brands together and dont have a problem. For anyone else reading this, NEVER use Red Heart. Thats my PSA for the day ;)
