IMPORTANT NOTE

Hello, and welcome.
I would like to inform you that I AM MOVING.
...well, sort of. I have started a new blog, Oui Crochet, that focuses just on crochet, crochet patterns, and crochet resources. I am in the process of building it up as a one stop shop for all things crochet, and I am very excited about it. I hope you will come over and check out my progress. :)
I will be moving my patterns from this site, to my new site. My idea is to leave this site active, so that you can still access other aspects of this site. I will also leave a modified "introduction" post where each pattern is on this site, as to keep all links active and make it so that you can easily locate the pattern's new home. As an added bonus, you will also find new printable/downloadable versions of my patterns.
I apologize for any inconvenience, but I assure you, this change is a positive one. I look forward to seeing you at Oui Crochet.
Happy Crocheting!

Weekly Crochet Square: Square 4

Last week we did the granny stripes square, so I felt it only fitting to go with the traditional granny square this week. Actually, I probably should have done the square last week, and the stripes this week, but I just didn't think that far ahead, I guess.
I really like the granny square because it is very easy and it works up really fast. It is a perfect stitch for multi-colored, pieced together afghans and lapghans. It also makes a really pretty all-one-piece afghan or throw.
