you asked for it: granny square help.

here is an email i wrote lindsay when she asked for some help/pointers to learn grannies.
i wanted to share it with you all, because after someone explained the correct method to me, i was *enlightened!*
this is a great opportunity to cross "learn to crochet a granny sq" off of your 2010 list, and your first one will probably take less than an hour.

again, to clarify: the SIZE for Operation GS does not matter. i will fit them together appropriately when i receive them.

anyway, here's the email:


here is a good written tutorial for grannies.

the thing about grannies is that they are really hard the first one or two times you try.
after that, they are easy as pie. you just have to be patient and practice. i am honestly convinced that if i can do this, anyone can. my first granny looked like a stop sign.

some more good links:
video one: solid granny
video two: two color granny
there are plenty of other videos as well , just search youtube for "granny square."

love, amy
