I needed a small, portable project for our trip to Kearney last weekend. In the past, my travel projects have mostly been socks. Now that my daughter is older, I prefer something that doesn’t require so many needles and won’t completely unravel if I throw it in my bag to chase her down.
I decided it was time to try my hand at granny squares and I think they’re looking pretty good. I finished one in the car on the way out and one during the day. (That’s the president of the local BMW Car Club holding my square over a Porsche. Isn’t it great how the fiber arts bring us all together!)
I’m planning to seam these together and make a scarf for myself. I’m really happy with the colors and the yarn is really soft.
stash: Yarn is Lion Brand Wool-Ease from a giant freecycle haul. Most of what I got that day has been given to knitting guild members to make squares for charity blankets. There were about five skeins of this colorway that I kept for myself. I’m not sure what I’ll do with the rest of it yet. Maybe matching wrist warmers?
They look fantastic. Isn’t it great how versatile crochet can be. You can chuck a couple of balls of wool in a bag and a hook and off you go!

oops sorry. my computer glitched so I thought I had to redo. I obviously didn’t have to but it’s good to see that I have emphasised the point sufficiently. ; )
those are really cute granny squares– I have heard those are the new thing to make. Love the yarn, too!
