As I've said before Crochet Me is a a great web resource for crocheters out there. They give away free little ebooks full of patterns every now and then. I found one on granny squares for everyone!
Neat, huh :)

A Sally Day
It's a Sally day. I don't have a new square to show and I've been unwell for the past day or so.
Have a Sally :)

Something new
I picked up a 2.25mm hook yesterday from Spotlight, which is now the smallest hook I own. Some of the women on the Krista Group shared some of their smaller lace work, and it's so pretty. But I've never done any lace crochet - it's so tiny and fine. When someone shared this pattern ("Fan Bookmark" from crochetroo.blogspot) I decided to give it a go. I picked out the hook (I did want to go down to a 2mm but they didn't have a Boye hook) and what I hoped was an appropriate thread. I'll have to share the result!

Week 12: Spot-sampler Krista rug
And here is the square from Week 12, as worked by Kim!
And here's the picture from Spotlight...
It's a nice colour and all, and it's great that someone at Spotlight is doing the squares for the project, but Kim's is laid out a wee bit better... and you know, you can *see* how the square should look. Neater edges too.
(I'm so mean.)
Here's the link!! Instructions for Week 12 (pdf)

Block #49 Traditional Granny
From Eaton's 200..
Block #18: Traditional Granny
Ahhhh the traditional granny. Same pattern as yesterday's Plain Granny, this one shows the difference that colour can make.
This is probably THE most USED crochet pattern to make rugs. I would say most crocheters' have hooked a granny square rug at least once in their lives. I've done two :) (One lap rug, one throw-for-a-king-size-bed rug!)

And here is our first granny square of the month!
Block #56: Plain Granny Square.
Ahhhh a plain happy square. So easy to hook. A great square to use up odd pieces of yarn with, to make up a happy blanket :)

May is Granny Square Month!
As I mentioned the other day, I have declared May as...
Exciting, huh :)
But let's take a moment to define what a Granny Square is. Because some people may think that a lot of the squares that I've been posting this year are granny squares. But I define a granny square as a square with a variation on the 3tr, sp, 3tr, sp, 3tr-3ch-3tr, 3tr, ch, 3tr...
Like this!
( Evening Sun Blanket: cocorosetextiles )
( foxs spiral round granny blanket: Ravelry )
( heart granny square: Ravelry )
See? So, this month: lots of squares on a variation of this.
Excited? I am!!
