    You have inspired me to start a granny square blanket. I love the idea of making a large granny square by just keep going. I learned to crochet when I was 10 by my Aunt Aggie who lived next door to us. About 10 years ago I expanded my knitting knowledge with help from a friend. I love them both, knitting and crocheting. I also love to cross stitch and do my own framing. I worked at a cross stitch shop in the early 90’s and the owner was also a professional framer. She taught me framing techniques that I still use today.
    Thank goodness for our crafts. They bring us joy and comfort.

    I, too, was a crocheter first. When I wanted to do more garment making, I took up knitting. Then, a few years ago, I wanted to make a blanket for a gift and feel back in love with crocheting. It's a nice change. So now I always have multiple knitting and crocheting projects in the works. This is making me very happy. Enjoyed the podcast and all your makings. They are beautiful. 🥰 Terrie (aka TerrieDeer)

    I think it’s SO fun doing scrappy blankets! Just the quick pan you did with the granny on your chair caught my eye with several “favorite” blocks, even though I knew you usually just reached in the bag and took whatever yarn. Now if I can just put down my hand quilting to start a blanket. Lord knows I have enough scraps! 🥴 Well done, Kay.

Love your Giant Granny!! One of my very favorites to hook. Will probably start one of those too. For some odd reason, I tend to crochet more in the Spring and Summer. Knit in Fall and Winter.

    I love mish mash episodes! Your blankets are so pretty....you have me motivated to give some of these jars of scrap yarn balls I have a home in some new project. I too started crocheting before I really got into knitting. Seeing your joy makes me think maybe I should dig out my hooks and get something started! I love seeing all of the different things you're working on too. Your "making" joy is inspiring, Kay!!!Your weather sounds like ours-spring-like which feels weird for February in New England. I'm sure we'll have winter on our doorstep again soon. Have a fantastic weekend!
