Granny Squares Chapter 1

Hi Dear Penelope Friends!!!!

Love crocheting granny squares and keep them aside. Just knit with any spare piece of wool I´ve got, in any colour.

I then keep them in a bag until one day I just knit them together making sweaters, afgans, bags...

Try them! it is really fun!
