Granny Squares

My grandmother taught me how to make these a long time ago and I never forgot how.

It's actually gotten to the point where I don't even have to watch what I'm doing, my fingers automatically seem to know what they're doing without requiring my brain to engage. I remember another grandmother knitting like that while watching TV. I was in awe of her. I still am!

Now, despite the fact that I seem to put quite a bit of effort into my crafting, I rarely actually finish a project. A fact that my husband points out from time to time, whenever the clutter that my hobbies generate seems to be taking over the house. That's when I know to pack it all into a box and move it out to the garage.
It's anybody's guess just what is out there...

But, nevertheless, I'm determined to finish making whatever these are going to ultimately be and I promise to show you when I'm done.

Happy Valentines Day to everyone, we had tons of crafty fun around here and I woke up to a treasure hunt this morning, that had Lindor at the end of it.... I'm so well loved!

  1. Eish, 'Nette - you keep the chocolate manufacturers in business eh? I also loved to make things - even if they languished in my Busy Basket a while too long. Right now I'm too busy to do more than Work, Eat, Sleep - but one day --- one day!
