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.

Chillies - yum - I always grow several plants including some really hot ones. We like chillies!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting our garden back up and running this year, we kind of gave up after the dogs trashed it a few times, chilli's were high on the list of getting it planted early.
DeleteI love the vibrant colour, are these going to be hot ones?
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
These are fairly small chilli's and the general rule is the smaller the chilli the hotter it is. I don't know how true that is but these certainly seem to pack a punch.
DeleteLooks like they're growing well
ReplyDeleteThey are! But we can't take credit for them growing so well. We bought the plant with chillis ripe and ready to go about 2 weeks ago. Shh don't tell anyone our secret to growing success.
DeleteHot hot hot!
ReplyDelete:o)
DeletePeppers! Yum! Love how gardening covers all the bases as a hobby: soothes the soul, provides sustenance, helps the environment, and is a creative source to draw from. :)
ReplyDeleteI never thought of gardening that way before. You are so right!
DeleteI love your blog! I'm just starting to get started actually learning to use my DSLR and will definitely follow you! I love the tip about learning ISO, f-stop, and AV. I just get stuck every time I try and figure all of the settings out and end up back in one of the auto modes.
ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful contrast of color on these chilis.
Thank you for your lovely feed back. If you ever need some help with your DSLR feel free to ask! I just found it so hard at first with my DSLR trying to separate out the ISO, f-stop and AV concepts that I just had to write the explanation I wish I'd been able to use to get me started. I hope you'll be able to give the auto mode the boot!
DeleteWho'd have thought peppers were so pretty! Awesome shot. Thanks for your comment on my new meme Vintage Beauty. It will definitely start this Thursday at midnight NZ time and will be open for a week. Hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic photo! It looks like they are growing well x
ReplyDeleteToday they look a bit deflated. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. The ground seems moist enough :/
DeleteLove the light and the colors! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI love that bright red in amongst all that green too.
DeleteHot stuff! Hot taste, hot colors, great shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/05/textures.html

DeleteI love the color and spice that peppers bring to a garden or porch. You've done a great job with this photo. Love it!
