Granny Chic may sound like an oxymoron, but let me tell you, there are numerous images that can be found in magazines, blogs and online that say otherwise! When I see the hand crocheted pillow covers and afghans, I immediately feel warm and cozy inside, then I think, "how can I do this?"
I have been working on granny squares, granny circles, hexagon shapes, circles and such for days now, resulting in a few small imperfect but cozy little throws. I feel that I must perfect the art of making them for some reason and although I should be working on things that I can put in my etsy shop for spring, I can't seem to stop my granny ways! Maybe because ....I am a granny!! My sweet grandson Kavi is two years old now and such an incredible joy!!! yay to the grannies!!!!
There are a lot of young and hip grannies these days to be sure! You sound like you have been really busy. I love to knit, but have not learned how to crochet yet. Is it easier?
ReplyDeleteI think crochet is easier myself, but I am relatively new at knitting! You should try it!
ReplyDeleteI have some of those specific images saved as inspiration for my new house! It continues to astound me, how much our families have in common:)
ReplyDeleteTwisted Fencepost had directions to crochet a, for lack of a better word, cover, for a floor cleaner like a Swiffer duster to use instead of those expensive little cleaner cloth things. The pattern looked easy enough so I bought some yarn and almost have one completed. For some reason I'm in the crocheting mood right now. And I think this little piece will, in a small way, help the environment because I'll be able to use the cover over and over.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hip granny, mom!
