    You are so creative, Lori. I love getting inspiration from watching your videos. Have you ever considered giving a tour of your home? I think your followers would really enjoy that.

    I like the idea of marking the back of the starters so you crochet the correct side every time. It’s easy to get it wrong.

    I have granny squares everywhere! Granny squares crochet, quilting and now cross stitch. My grandkids are having fun with it too they decide what colors go next. When they come over they say are we gonna work on our granny squares MiMi? What memories these blankets and quilts will be.❤️

    Really enjoying crocheting the granny squares. While I am waiting for Fat Quarter Shop to get more chunky thread in I have been digging into my yarn stash and making granny squares. So far I have made a baby blanket out of those squares. I learned how to crochet at 6 years old, was always fun for me. I'm 51 now, so clearly this is right up my alley. I never heard of blocking the granny squares, so that was new to me. Thanks Lori, you are my favorite fabric designer ❤

    Hi Lori, I dabbled just a tiny bit into quilting and I’m not sure if it’s quite my jam yet. Love love love crocheting, a new hobby for me since spring, and I do appreciate your crocheting videos. So, selfish me is asking you to please continue creating crochet videos. I learn so much from you! 💜🧶🪡

    Can’t wait till Happy Little Stitch Shop gets all the colors in. Thanks for the print out chart of the colors. Makes it pretty and easy to keep track of. I had kinda made my own with the name and piece of the yarn. So far I have 19 of the colors. I am enjoying crochet after years and years of not doing yarn projects. I want to have all the colors in my stash to pull from for future projects. 45 Granny squares and counting.

    Love the idea of gathering up a bunch of starters! So excited I received more skeins of chunky thread this past week. Will really be happy when more choices are in stock. Have completed all the great granny squares for the quilt and will use inspiration from those colors to continue with the Afghan. Thank you 😊

    I started this project at the end of April and I did all 144 starters at the same time. I used yarn that I had in my stash. I had a lot leftover because I did a temperature blanket last year. I also made a spreadsheet to keep me organized so I wouldn’t make the same block twice. I was really concerned in the beginning because I didn’t know how to choose my colors. My inspiration came from other peoples blocks and floss packs from FQS. When using the floss pack colors, I found it so easy to get many blocks from 1 pack. Now I’m in the process of adding my 5th round color to all 144 squares. This has been so much fun.

    @darlenejohannis9858 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a serious mental block with getting started although I have crocheted in the past (many, many years ago). I like the idea of doing a bunch of starters and then attempt to move to the second round. It's worth a try. Thank you.

    Miss Lori, Have you considered making yourself a jacket from your squares? I have a lot of granny squares my mother made. I’m thinking about turning them into a coat for me.
    I’ve got to add this. My mother crocheted while traveling too. One time the car hit a bump and the crochet hook went into her thumb. They (Mom and Dad) made a trip to the local emergency room. Obviously she was using a small crochet hook.

    I love seeing your color combinations and have written them down. I pick four Chunky Threads and rotate the colors which then gives me four different granny squares. Rotating the colors gives a completely different look. Thanks for the Chunky Thread color chart. It helps me track all the colors.

    I really like those colors in the assortment #4 of the mini skiens. I've got to go order that. I hope that fat quarter shop has it in stock. I love seeing all of your crochet granny squares and then the fabric ones that match them. You're so creative and I'm very impressed you could remember all of the names of those fabrics.

    I’ve been having so much fun making granny squares! I’m planning to join the squares to a 14 or 16 inch square. Would you recommend making a front and back and joining like you have done with your large granny square pillows? Do you recommend blocking the squares after the fourth round or after adding the border but before joining.
    Thank you for sharing you time and talent with all of us!!
