Yesterday I finally settled on a beginner crochet square to work on from the book, 100 Colorful Granny Squares to Crochet by Leonie Morgan.
I chose the Wildfire square but I’m changing the yarn colors to suit my living room. I think I’ll make 9 squares and turn them into a throw pillow for the living room couch.
This is the square from the book…
I like the colors shown but I like these better…
I completed one square yesterday afternoon. It’s just a basic double crochet around a foundation ring with several color changes. This little square will need some blocking when the time comes to assemble them.
Here’s my first square…
Yesterday was beautiful here with 50 degree weather. We won’t discuss the misery of a weather pattern that is headed our way tonight…can you hear my sighing? Anyway…I walked for a bit and had to take a picture of this poor tree at the end of the street. It was a mighty Pine that came down during a huge storm either last year or the year before. It fell straight back right off the road and it has landed in conservation land, I believe, and that is why no one has claimed it to clean up the mess. The root base is just as tall as I am. It just sits here every day and will probably sit here for eternity. Life just goes on around this poor tree that was once so tall.
Have a beautiful day, everyone!

That tree looks like the whole area where I walk as it’s a big nature conservation and fallen trees are never cleaned up. Your square looks really cute! I should check out how to make them, they don’t look as time consuming. Spring is almost here! 🙂
The granny square variations are great because they aren’t really time consuming. Let me know if you start one, I’d love to see it!
