Learn how to create a seam free, single sided Crochet Granny square for perfect results every time.
The humble Granny Square is the crochet staple of Nanna's everywhere, which is how it came to be known as a 'Granny Square'. Originally it was just called a crochet square.
The Granny Square is often the very first thing we are taught when learning to crochet, so it would follow that it would be simple to have a perfect square every time and those new to crochet often get discouraged when this is not the case.
However, to get a perfect square actually requires a bit of experience, good fundamentals and advanced row starting techniques, otherwise you are left with seams, the reverse side of stitches showing every second row or even a slight spiral effect.
This granny square is made without turning your work and has a right and a wrong side.

aren't ibis the weirdest looking birds? the ugliest face you will ever see and the prettiest laciest behind! great shots.:)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I'd love to get a lacy behind shot during mating season. Fingers crossed hey?
DeleteBeautiful and exotic :) I have only ever seen ibis in the zoo and always on the ground - t hey look so much better in the trees.
ReplyDeleteIt's rare to see them in a tree here too they are usually grazing in the grassy wetlands. I was thrilled to get a tree shot.
DeleteTruly spectacular! Loving the the almost monochrome feel to the second shot. #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI did try adding a bit of fill light and highlights but I didn't like how it removed the contrast between the two shots so I undid the changes and put it up as is. I'm glad you like it too :o)
DeleteGreat captures - I love seeing seabirds.
ReplyDeletePlease come link up your photos at Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday). This week’s linkup can be found at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/04/at-keyboard.html. I hope to see you each week!
These Ibis hang out in some local wetlands, we're a fair way from the coast but I'm sure they are by the beach too. I'll be linking up tomorrow!
DeleteBrilliant captures, they look huge up in the tree
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
They are a pretty big bird, skinny but tall, just over 2 foot.
DeleteWhat a fantastic photo! Such interesting looking birds x
ReplyDeleteClose up they are even more amazing. One day...
DeleteWhat an amazing capture - great with the ibis contrasting against the skyline
ReplyDeleteSuch a rare opportunity too, we've been walking at this spot for years and it's the first time I've seen them hanging out in that tree.
DeleteLovely shots! I have a thing for leafless branches...
ReplyDeleteOh, and I want to say a big thank you for your tip about gluing the lace to the veil. I might just try that. :)
DeleteThanks. I agree leafless branches are very srtiking.
DeleteI certainly hope the veil works out for you and your daughter! I think it was Pierced Wonderings who mentioned the glue though. I suggested gelatin dipping to stiffen the organza. I wish I could come and help :o)
DeleteWow I havenyt seen this birds before but they sure look amazing especially on the tree branches like this! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteIt's always exciting (I think it is anyway) to find a new bird.
DeleteYes! I am a foreigner here and though I have been here long there still so many things that is new to me!
DeleteI love both of these shots, but that blue sky in the top shot is absolutely gorgeous! I have never seen an Ibis before, very cool!
ReplyDeleteThey're a bit weird looking aren't they? But in a good way.
DeleteGreat photos of interesting looking Ibis - love the backdrop too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristi.
DeleteBeautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed them Kate.
DeleteWhat beautiful photography.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessica :o)
