This is my new blog all about my adventures in crafting! I will share patterns, crafting techniques and lots of other fun crafty stuff here. My current obsession is with crochet (although I do many other things) sooo I thought I would share a few crochet tutorials to begin with! I hope they help you in your crafting ventures!
The Granny Square
This is one of the best pieces of crochet to know, the granny square. It can be used for an infinite amount of things and made in a infinite amount of colors. There is pretty much nothing you cant do with these little gems when it comes to crochet. A quick google search will show you just what I mean. Below I have demonstrated how to make the most basic granny square. I hope you enjoy!
