I hadn't crocheted for over a decade and I only knew one stitch so I started on a journey to make one granny square a day. It quickly turned into an obsession and I had lots of squares. I learned that granny squares are not all the same size and joining them into this beauty was the biggest challenge. It is the size of a queen size bed and I still didn't use all my squares but I was sure to get all my favorites in! I love it. I hope you do too. This site contains links to the details for every single square. Enjoy exploring!

Crochet Essentials2 Pieces Knitting Counters, Knitting Needle Marking Tool, Plastic Knitting Stitch CounterI have tried these mechanical row/stitch counters and I really prefer them over the digital stitch counters. Amazon mostly sells digital counters and I don't love them. There isnt a replaceable battery so if I put down a WIP with its counter and don't pick it up in 3 months, I worry the counter is dead. In order to wake up the screen, you have to click the button but it is the same button that you click to add a row. I worry as soon as I push it to wake it up that I have also pushed it to add a row. The digital ones are much less expensive but I prefer these mechanical ones.
