Just me?

Does anyone else have a love/hate relationship with making granny squares? I’ve made over 40 in the past couple of days and never want to make another granny square again :joy: but the squares look good in all of the different projects, so I’ll have to just get over it :laughing:

I know what you mean. As for me, it helps to have more than 1 WIP, usually 4-5. When I get bored with one WIP, or my hands hurt from the thick yarn, or one requires intense concentration, and so on- I switch WIPS.

I only really like making giant granny squares haha. I don’t like joining anything so if I make small ones there’s a good chance they’ll get punted to a charity shop over actually assembling them :zipper_mouth_face:

I trick my brain every time, not to feel that I am actually making granny squares (especially when they look the same), so for example I call my mum and I do them while I’m talking. :sweat_smile::joy: It works for me, because otherwise I would just sit there and talk, but instead I am making 3-4 granny squares without even realising it. :sweat_smile: It is not the same when I watch a youtube video or something because it’s more passive. But when I am talking it makes me feel that I am doing something else. :sweat_smile: Does it make sense to you? :joy:

You start in the middle :wink:
I’m being a smartass of course, but there are tons of patterns here that will help you! Also videos on YT that will walk you through it. I find them frustrating and tedious at times, but they also offer a super quick feeling of completion and soooooo much variety! Definitely give them a try!

Edit: I just quickly vetted this one for you and it looks easy to follow: Basic Granny Square - Crochet Tutorial for Beginners - YouTube
