I’m hosting a 3-Day Granny Square Glow-Up Workshop and I’d LOVE for you to join me! If you’ve ever wondered: 👉 Why granny squares work the way they do 👉 How to make them lay flat 👉 How to create your own variations 👉 How designers turn simple squares into garments, bags, and beautiful projects… This workshop is for YOU. And let me just say… This is not just “let’s make a granny square together.” Oh no, baby. 😄 We’re going deeper. We’re learning how to think like a designer using granny squares as building blocks. 🧶 What We’re Covering: Day 1: Granny Square Foundations Understand the anatomy and structure of granny squares. Day 2: Variations & Customization Learn how to remix stitches, color, and spacing. Day 3: From Squares to Projects Use granny squares to start designing actual projects. ✨ You’ll leave seeing granny squares in a whole new way. If you’ve been wanting to grow your crochet skills, understand construction better, or dip your toes into design… Come stitch with us. Friday, May 1, 2026 at 8pm est. Saturday May 2, 2026 8pm Sunday May 3, 2026 8pm Workshop Hours 90 mins. Grab your seat here >> https://buy.stripe.com/cNicN45ildbRdR7c4hfIs0a Let’s glow up those granny squares together. 💅🏽

How do you normally choose yarn weight?

You can tell I struggle at the beginning of this foundation double crochet but it got better towards the end. It looks so ugly, but I refuse to start over 😤

Lord, this project tested my patience. I wanted to challenge myself to design another pattern and learn how to combine stitches and deal with stitch multiples. These are all based on double crochet, which I generally only use for granny squares. I alternated between DC rows, a DC mesh row (DC, ch1, sk st), a DC shell row, and the iris st/double V-st row (2DC, ch1, 2DC). The longer starting/turning chain helped straighten the base of my triangle, which was curved and wonky in my previous post. It’s a win. I would make a couple more and would find it meditative now that I know the pattern. 😆
