Like many others, I am a big fan of granny squares, especially when used in fun, creative, out-of-the-box ways. In my ideas book, I have sooooo many project ideas for use with granny squares and the granny stitch pattern, but haven’t taken much initiative to work them up so I decided a Granny-Spiration Challenge was exactly what I needed.
Well, being inspired by granny squares, it’s been named accordingly. In this challenge, a new project will be shared the first Saturday of every month from January to December of 2017. You will find both traditional and non-traditional projects created with either regular or solid granny squares, the granny stitch pattern or other afghan squares in the form of either a free crochet pattern, a crochet pattern review, a DIY of some sort or just inspiration piece with tips to recreate.
How to Join in on the Granny-Spiration Challenge:
Join my friends and I the first Saturday of every month as we share our Granny-Spiration project with you, and open a link up for you to share yours! You’ll be able to share your WIPs and pictures of completed items in these link ups for a chance to win prizes.
Tag it on social media as #GrannySpirationChallenge2017.
Chat with others, find inspiration and get updates and reminders in the EyeLoveKnots Crafting Community Facebook group.
