I really love how you can take a really ordinary granny square and spice it up with some spike stitches. Pretty, easy, done.

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!

Another not super unique, but cute square and puff stitches are always a plus in my book :).

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.

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!

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.

When I started these squares I thought they would be pretty unoriginal mainly because I wasn't drawn in by the photos of the squares. But there are so many really cool patterns in this book! This one makes some really cute ruffles. Just make sure when you are doing the ruffle stitch that when you do the "slip st in Front Loop" that you are inserting the hook from top to bottom. I tried both ways and this one seemed to be more comfortable and make the better looking ruffle.
