Granny Squares

I had found a couple photos of granny squares on pinterest like this and this . I think they are so beautiful and decided I was in need of one. Since I am definitely not up to snuff on my crocheting abilities I decided to ask my wonderful and hugely talented Grandma MacDonald if she could make one for me. After a couple trips to Micheals to pick out the yarn and a suitcase full of yarn (16 skenes) on the plane home to Saskatchewan this summer (which I really wish I would have taken a 'before' photo of) and a lot of hours of crocheting on my Grandma's part....voila!! My new Granny Square Afghan! I love it sooo much! It is my new go to blanket on the couch at night while watching tv. The first night my Mom brought it, I literally walked around the house with it around my shoulders like a 'granny' smelling it. It smelled just like my Grandmas house! I am so thankful to my Grandma for making it for me. I love the colors, I love the randomness of the squares and how even though they are all different they all looks so great together. I will have it always to show how talented she is! Maybe someday I can try and learn so that I can do the same for my kids and Grandkids...?? :) Here are some shots of it in my house...
