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.

We used Google Calendar too. It's a great tool to have. I don't put my blogging tasks in our family Google calender or else mine would look very cluttered too. Oh well, hope your able to "remove some of that stuffing" lol. Thanks for adding my button to your party page!! :)
ReplyDeleteI have about 5 google calendars on the go but I like how Google lets me see them all together.
DeleteI totally understand where you are coming from! I like to make mental notes of what I need to do, and even though some do not need to be done the same day, in my head, I feel overwhelmed! I should really start using an organizer and planning things I need to do instead of just making mental notes.
ReplyDeleteI always think I can manage with just mental notes but I've had to learn that doesn't always work out well, and that overwhelmed feeling is always there. It is less stressful when my phone/computer just prompts me.
DeleteI used to, but since my kids are grown, and I live alone, I don't so much anymore. Still doesn't mean I get stuff done! Just means I take more naps! lol
ReplyDeleteBut, I'm seriously de-cluttering my blogging and emails. I have had it up to here! (and I'm very tall!) with 150 emails a day! I do NOT need to know everytime someone likes a comment someone else made on my blog!! Finally figured out how to do that.
Oops, what were we talking about here?
I'm glad I don't get emails for likes but I still struggle to keep ontop of them all. I still have a to-do list a mile long though *sigh*
DeleteYes! I constantly struggle with this. I've realized that some things are just not going to get done. I also have found that if I limit the number of items on my daily to-do list, sometimes I actually get them all finished and can go check something off my running "it would be nice to-do" list. :)
ReplyDeleteKeeping an achievable list really does make a difference!
