Just logged on to give you an update on my crochet this week. I had planned to finish my first attempt at a crochet scarf. But last night I decided I was holding the yearn wrong so went in search of some new yarn! Not that I don't have enough but visiting my local knitting shop gave me a chance to ask the lady to show me how to do a triple crochet stitch!

As you know the Daisy Granny Square is the design of Sue Pinner from her book Granny Squares published 2013. I do love Sue's book, its packed with so many projects and ideas and the photos are beautiful. The daisy granny square pattern is quite addictive and you soon have a small pile of them in no time! I have an idea to make another one for the autumn in the same Debbie Bliss Rialto DK yarn but all edged in shade 90 honey, I have enough in my stash. Construction Notes: You need to make 18 grann...
