The modern granny square



Looky here at my crocheted square.
I saw this pattern on the internet
and
couldn't resist giving it a go. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it though. Maybe I'll make some more and make a blanket or pillow out of them or something. I'll have a ponder and let my creative mind go hunting for ideas.
This is the first time I've worked with different colours at the same time in crochet. I do it quite often when I'm knitting. It was really easy though. It required a fair bit of reading and re-reading the pattern to fully comprehend what going on but as you can see, I got there.

Now, you're probably wondering about the new look on my blog. Well, the background I was using popped up with a notice informing me that it was expiring and that I should upgrade it. I went on the site to do this but alas my old background wasn't there hence the new one. I then reworked the whole layout to make it all go together. This has taken me HOURS including a very late night but this is the finished result. I wasn't anticipating a change but since I was forced to I'm not actually that put out!
