Granny square secret
I discovered the secret to granny squares. I can't crochet, but I wish I could. The answer, for me, is not in this 1983 Women's Weekly Granny Square special edition (though milk glass crochet patterns are... Picture this made out of yarn). I found the magazine in the free section at the library on my way to pilates the other night. I stopped off at the thrift store on my way home and found the blanket. That's my granny square secret: thrifting. I look at it as my reward for exercising and a not so subtle reminder that I think it would be nice to have a little girl some day.
i've got about the same secret. except mine are from my husband's grandmother.

Great thrifting find! And definitely the best way to get granny squares. Given my own inability to crochet, it's certainly the only way it'll happen around here.

It's been awhile, but I'd be happy to try to teach you how to crochet, if you are still interested. The granny squares are fun.
