To me, the granny square perfectly defines simplicity. Just two stitches – chain and double crochet. That’s it. Yet stunningly beautiful creations come from that simplicity. I’m drawn to the meditative nature of grannies – I’ve probably made hundreds, if not thousands of them over my 50 years of crocheting. Yet each one is just a little bit different.
I’m working on a new design series and each step in the process brings me quiet joy and satisfaction.
