A Granny a day keeps me in play...

Since recieving the beautiful Meet Me at Mikes book for Christmas I have been admiring the little "Granny Squares" in the back.


Granny Squares for the uneducated (as I was) is a little crocheted square which you can join together to make a rug like this one my Grandma made for me a while ago.


Anyway, this morning I decided to put my hook to use and to start pracitising with some old wool I had. However, I realised to my dismay that I only knew

how to start and not turn around or even try the square. Plus I have lent my new book to a friend to make something from whilst I made something else.

But, never fear, as I was catching up with some of my fave blogs that I follow I discovered on the Meet Me At Mike's site that Pip has a project/challenge called "A Granny A Day"! Plus she has video tutorials for those like me that need the real thing instead of reading it!

Check it out! Are you game?

PS - My inspiration for this is to make a Granny Quilt for my Grandma as she did for me!
