Soooo nice. I often wish that iPads etc were available when I was in college and grad school. I would have such pretty notes too!!

Meet the new plan, better than the old plan

Oops, too much of this green color close together. That’s me working through a nice skein of Malabrigo Rios. Going to pull one or two out and save for later on the piece :)

The bright orange finally has a partner (LONG knight’s move apart because so strong). I welcome suggestions for swapping/moving the unattached squares, at least until I have to take this off the table to protect it from the cats

Next part of the layout for the www.grannysquarecrochet.com project. Trying to keep things balanced with local strategies: put similar colors a knight’s move apart rather than same row/column, keep similar patterns away from each other, try to bring down bright colors using neighboring colors

The blocking boards are standard but I added some custom 3D printed waffle separators so I could stack the squares with gaps inbetween

Yesterday's Granny Life crochet-a-long inspired 2 new "pro tips" for making beautiful squares:

1. Twist the yarns just before the corner 2ch, to make it easier to catch carried yarn later.

2. It helps to make your hdc crochet stitches a little "tall".

haha well if it looks square then you are probably doing them right :)

(and if not then the fiddly part in the corners is catching a horizontal strand of yarn inside/between/under the corner stitches)

Looks great! I’ll block it on my end once I have it. And I’ll let you know if we have another CAL, it was fun to see people and complain about the fiddly corners together

Yes that orange one is so tricky! It is near some things that soften its abruptness but I agree it still is bright. The whole piece is like a multi-scale sudoku with color and pattern rules that are emerging. I started making another bright one to put in later so I can balance the orange one out!

Looking good so far! ❤️🧶
