I think it was about six months ago that I learned how to crochet. I’m not doing complicated stitch-work, but I have learned how to make granny squares.
It happened one very cold Friday night. I grabbed a book that my hubby gave me, a book that my brother gave me, and I read over the patterns. I then sent a message to my Mother in law, she is the Queen of making Granny Squares, and she gave me some pointers too.
Little by little I was starting to get the hang of it.
By twenty squares I had the pattern memorized, and I had a plan for the squares too.
I whip stitched the little squares together, and started a throw for the foyer.
Over the weekend I added my 100th Granny square to the throw. I still have a long way to go, but it is cute and cheery. It is Agnes sized too, she she has claimed it as her’s.





maybe it should stay that size for Agnes! I have one of those quilts and now can appreciate all the hard work that someone put into it.
