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.
