Granny Square Guide

Welcome to the complete granny square guide, where I attempt to answer every question that is asked about these adorable little projects all in one place.

Crochet Circle Earrings

I’m on a big earring kick lately and when you quickly need something to match a blouse, or just want a quick project, these crochet circle earrings are the way to go. I’ve chosen to do three circles from smallest to largest for my earrings but why stop there? You could create as many circles […]

I tend to collect supplies even more than I craft (and that’s not something I’m proud of) but these three crochet tools are […]

Sometimes you also have a 2-liter bottle that you’ve been waiting to find a recycle purpose for…. viola! Here’s the fix. A […]
