When I had gone out shopping I came across these lovely yarns... such fine yarns, rich, beautiful coloured cotton yarns.... I've only ever used acrylic yarns and these cotton ones felt great to work with.
I got into knitting and crocheting when I was pregnant and since then I've always liked it. I dont get much time with it so I'm still a beginner.. just know the basic stitches. I had started off with knitting first, then went on to learn crochet.. all through youtube.
There were black, light blue, orange, pink, purple and these two colours. My hands first went to the pink and purples (ofcourse :)), but I decided to go for some other combinations. I wanted to try out granny squares. It's quite simple is what I've read, but I'd never tried it.
I went on to search in google and found a really good blog on crochet.... with a very simple explanation on granny squares. This one: http://www.littletinbird.co.uk/basic-granny-square-pattern/
I picked up easily and managed to make one granny square.
This pic shows my first square. I'm not sure what I'm finally gona make with the squares... they're quite loose stitches....
Here is the finished first granny square. It's not a big as it appears in the pic. I might buy some other colours too to make it more lively. This is all treble crochet with 2 chain separation.
I guess I'll use black to finally bind all the squares together. Black and grey would go well together. I also want to put some red and yellow into it.
And here is the second square. It's been more than 2 months since I started this one but I never seem to get the time or when I do, I would be in a mood for a book. I completed the first square when my sis-in-law, Insha, was here. She loves to crochet too and when I got company I got into it. Started the 2nd also when she was here, but haven't touched it since she left.
So, what do you think? Should I make it into a blanket? Or a bag? Or something else?
