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.

Scary! But great shots!

DeleteWonderful shots but a scary animal.

I wouldn't want to meet one up close.
DeleteWow small but not so cute with those jaws, I think I wont rush to have them here on tha farm, some amazing photos though! #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd be worried about the chooks! They are carnivorous but mostly scavengers, I'm not sure what their predatory skills are like.
DeleteMy daughter had Australia as her topic at school in the UK before we moved here to SA and she was obsessed (for some reason!) with Tasmanian devils. She wants to visit Tasmania to see one; at least now I know that if we do go to Australia we are likely to land in Perth as that is the closest place to fly to - we can still see them there!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a change from the usual little girl obsession of horses. Your daughter sounds like a real character and smart too. I hope she gets the chance to see Tasmanian Devils in the flesh one day.
DeleteLooks scary, especially the third photo! But looks nothing like the Tasmanian devil in the cartoon ;) #animaltales
ReplyDeleteI must admit - I didn't even realise the cartoon character was meant to be a Tasmanian Devil. I obviously didn't pay much attention as a child.
Deletedevilish smile ;-).
ReplyDeleteIt's the teeth.
DeleteFor a moment there I thought you had found one in your backyard. They sure do look scary when they open their mouths.
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad I don't have to worry about one of these showing up in my backyard.
DeleteCute little devils! I was awarded with seeing these in a zoo as a kid, and a couple of them started fighting - It did look something like the tornado in the cartoons :) Quick and noisy little creatures!
ReplyDeleteI didn't seem them having a fight, that would have been something. It sounds like it was memorable.
Deletethat does look vicious
ReplyDeleteIt sure does, I wouldn't want to upset one.
Deletewhat amazing photos. I loved seeing the real thing as I had the cartoon animation in my mind. Now I know what they look like. Angela stopping by from #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteThey are quite different in real life from Tas in the cartoons.
DeleteAww, he's so cute! Love him. Visiting zoos and aquariums are my favorite vacation things to do. Maybe I'll make it out your way someday
ReplyDeleteI would love to take you to all our local zoo's - they're pretty awesome.
DeleteIt looked so cute and cuddly!! UNTIL it opened its mouth!! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for making my question into a post! Cool!
Melinda
My pleasure =) I wasn't sure you would want me to mention who asked the question. ;)
DeleteI'd love to see a Tasmanian Devil although perhaps not face to face in the wild! Many thanks for adding more of your wonderful antipodean wildlife to #AnimalTales
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would want to meet one face to face in the wild or in captivity without a nice big dividing fence.
DeleteOh wow they are amazing. I have never seen one in real life. Would they attack you in the wild?
ReplyDeleteI think any scared animal attack. I don't think they would attack for any other reason though, they are not territorial.
Deletenothing at all like the ones on the cartoons :) They are kind of ugly though really, like a really big rat kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to think of them as a wombat with a long face.
