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.

Marvelous photography. I struggle to capture good bird shots.

Practice, lots and lots of practice and even more patience.
DeleteI love how sharp his (her?) eye is! They are such delicate creatures.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us again this week for Photo Friday!
I have no idea if it's a male or female or even what type of thornbill it is. It's the first time I've ever managed to capture one in flight though.
DeleteAvian subjects are some of my favorites. :) These are great shots - perching birds are the hardest for me to photograph, with their quick little movements!
ReplyDeleteYou need fast shutter speed and lots of luck!
DeleteGreat photographs, especially the action shot. #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteThanks Ian. It's my first success on getting a small bird in flight.
DeleteWhat lovely captures! I only manage to take photos of birds from afar, but then again, I only have a point and shoot camera :) #animaltales.
ReplyDeleteIt's had to get birds without a zoom lens.
DeleteTwo really fantastic images. Superb.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice of you to say so. You take truly lovely shots yourself.
DeleteAlways a fantastic capture from you! #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteThank you :o)
DeleteGreat picture! Love the detail of the open wing feathers.
ReplyDeleteI wish it had been a bit sharper. Fingers crossed for next time.
DeleteLovely shots and I love seeing birds from around the world. Are thornbirds common birds?
ReplyDeleteThank you for adding a totally new (to me) bird to #AnimalTales
Yes they're everywhere here, but it's hard to tell them apart from lots of other small brown birds unless you can get a photo to see the details. (well for me it is) I do feel like I was cheating a bit linking this up to Animal Tales this week, I thought I had an animal post to share but then I couldn't find it..
DeleteThe Mother says - Fab photography. These birds in flight look amazing. #animaltales
ReplyDeletethanks:0)
DeleteBeautiful photography - so crisp and clean I almost feel the feathers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-bubble-man.html
Thanks so much!
DeleteAmazing capture! I love the first photo because of the movement and I can see the detail on his wings. #wwwblp
ReplyDeleteI was quite surprised when the wings weren't a complete blur, the shot was in the shadows and I wasn't game to increase the shutter speed any more then that.
