Good Morning Friends & Folk!
....oh boy a hot one it will be today!
everyone stay safe & cool...
please remember to provide fresh cool water for our outdoor friends!!
So this title of this post is
'OBSESSION'
I have diagnosed myself... LOL
ob·ses·sion
/əbˈseSHən/
noun:
'an idea or thought that continually preoccupies or intrudes on a person's mind.'
plural noun: obsessions
I'm glad they included the PLURAL definition in there,
as for me? yep...I have many!
and here is my latest.....
• Granny Squares •
the elusive
Granny Square
has been the bane of my existence for a couple of years now.
~ my mother tried to teach me...
my best friends tried to teach me.
my own daughter crocheted an entire bikini without a pattern when she was 16 or-so.
yep.
I have tried making them with polyester blend yarn, nope.
I've tried making miniature ones with pearl cotton...
{which I ADORE btw} but never seemed to master those squared-off corners ~
I thought myself stuck in a wagon-wheel shaped granny square world
{and mine have a flat!}
BUT
I pressed onward.
I was not giving up!
I am a follower of Lori Holt ~ Bee in my Bonnet
on Instagram, and saw that she was to hold a #grannysquarealong this month of June.
Dare I try again?
you betcha!
Lori has THEE most wonderful beginner Granny Square video tutorial on her Youtube channel:
...and the rest is history!
I ran out to Hobby Lobby to get cotton crochet yarn...
I bought a new hook and a yarn bowl.....
I even bought myself a Magic Wand!!!
{actually it is just a light-up crochet hook ~ so I can crochet in the dark if I had to LOLOL}
so now I am a Crocheter-er.
and a darn proud one!
Also please know that
our Shop & Studio will be CLOSED this weekend.
Blessings from the Farm

Lori
