How to crochet the granny square blanket and how to join as you go
So this one of the projects that I usually take for granted or I think of my self I'm a super woman.
I'm sure I'm not the only one for my love of the granny squares and how much I get exited when I start making them however when I see that I'm not meeting the deadline, I get demotivated and start dragging myself into finishing it .
I do know if it's only me or every crocheters think that we are able to finish a project in two days ! Is that even possible.
I have to admit that for this one, I run out of yarn 3 times and I had to go look for it in different places because where I initially bought it did not have the same color any more.
But what I know now that before my next project, I will follow from start to finish how much time it really takes but more importantly, I must have all the yarn I need so I don't waste the time looking for the yarn everywhere.
