The Granny Square Project

 Hello! I wanted to start a crochet project this summer and I found it. I chose to crochet granny squares because they're small, addicting, and not too hot for the summer (like a blanket would be). I do plan to stitch the granny squares together to make one big blanket, but I'll do that when it gets colder out. Right now, I have completed almost 40 squares and I opted to use an orange-red-yellow transitioning yarn. And I'm doing three rows per square. I'm planning to purchase a purple version of the yarn I've already used. Maybe smaller quantities of green or blue. I'm so excited because each granny square is easier to manage rather than crocheting a bigger blanket right away. And whenever I make the granny squares, each stitch just slips into place and each square comes together. I will have to block them (wet them and pin them down so they dry in the same shape), which is new for me. Learning how to do that is something to look forward to in this project. 

Thoughts on Billy Joel's Music

He's such an amazing singer and so many of his songs have a part in them that JUST HIT and it's the best thing ever. His music hits all the right spots for me: The melody is great and the lyrics are decent (boom, that's it!) Here's a list of some of my favorites (of which I discovered a few days ago)- "My Life", "It's Still Rock and Roll To Me", "Movin' Out", "You May Be Right", and "The Longest Time". Of course, "We Didn't Start The Fire", "Vienna", "Uptown Girl" and "Piano Man" are some all time favorites as well. 🙃
