    I love this take on granny rows and zig zags. I made myself a zig zag blanket with single crochets a while back and my Mom has asked that I make her one but I've been putting it off because its boring making the same thing again ....but I think she'd like this and its different enough that its fun for me too! Thanks for the tutorial!
