Granny and other squares, rounds, etc! Back to some crochet . . . again and again!




Wow, look at this!   Not the colors I might choose but the work is fantastic.   These are all squares.  This photo was posted in Polly Plum's page on Facebook by Sue Harju Bruining . . .  must give her credit for her work.  

Find Polly's FB page here: pollyplumcrochetpatterns  where I find lots of inspiration.  

Find Polly's blog at Every Trick on the Hook : EveryTrickOnTheHook.com

I have bought a few of Polly's patterns and grabbed some of the free ones too.  I have another blog post about the Polly Plum squares I have made . . .  here:  crochet-anyone-2-polly-plum

I have been trying to finish up some older projects before I continue on with newer projects.  I really need to finish the Jacaranda which is really just a giant granny square (OK, maybe not, but it is a square that is being worked in rounds).

Meanwhile I have looked at blogs I am following and found these great posts.

Granny-square-flair-book-revew  (Lila Bjorn Crochet). This book is now on my wish list at Amazon.com. GrannySquareFlair


Geometric-granny-blankets  (The Patchwork Heart)

Jen Tyler of Hooks&Tales has lots of lovely squares .   I am posting one link here but be sure to check out her Karoo MAL (a paid pattern on Ravelry):  Wildflower

Terrazzo ("the guy with a hook" in The Netherlands working on a designer from Iceland's pattern)   -  he designed the Medina Mosaic (another work in progress)  that is in my featured post:  The-reykjavic-terrazzo-tablerunner-pattern

What about a diamond shape?
It's All in a Nutshell/Esther has a new CAL (designer Dedri Uys/Look At What I Made) to check out:  Ubuntu-CAL


Don't I already have enough to do???  
I keep finding books for inspiration and some drool worthy  squares.   Some I have found through mentions on Facebook or when used in another pattern I found. . .   like Crochet Borders or the 200 Crochet Blocks . . .  hmm, I seem to be missing a few books.   

 I used the Crochet Block Bible to practice pattern and graph reading.   I started off with the easy ones but I am an impatient person.   I jumped into other squares.  I should go back to this book to do more.   Some are hanging around in my kitchen.   Others are just part of my samplers.


Of course there are more than squares . . . I have also been collecting mandala/circles and other motifs.
