Small Granny Squares...

In my last post you saw how I was trying my hand at a granny square for a bunting.

And, it was Way To Big.

So, after some thought about how I could re-work it, I'm pretty happy with the results so far. They are approximately 3 inches square and made with cotton yarn. I wanted them to look like something my Nana would have made - lots of colors.

I will post more pictures when they are finished and hung up.

In Case You Were Wondering...

I am still here...

Busy, though, doing many things - and, crochet & crafting {and my blog} have taken a back seat.

I have been wanting to make a granny square bunting for several months now. Day before yesterday I started working on it. I really wanted to do a circle in the center and then square it up while keeping it small enough to match the picture I have in "my mind's eye". I have been looking at different patterns and  pictures online and I'm not really there yet (because what I have done so far is HUGE). But, it's a start and I am excited about it.

And here I have a surprise for a friend...

I hope you are enjoying your weekend...

For this cozy...

- Create a magic circle and rounds of double crochet to fit the bottom of the mason jar

- Double crochet for the rows to fit the mason jar snug 

- Treble crochet for the scallops (5 treble crochet in one stitch, skip next stitch, single crochet in next stitch, skip the next stitch, 5 treble crochet in the next stitch)
