I Finally got it!

[mpmuskie]

I know this is going to sound probably stupid, but I finally got how to make granny squares last night! Ok, a bit of background. I'm blind. And while I could read the instructions through marvels of technology (aka a screen reading program that keeps me on the net), the instructions just never made sense to me! I had even sat down and tried to crochet a granny as I was reading each individual line of the instructions! That still didn't work. But last night for some reason, it finally clicked! I'm soooo excited that I can finally make a granny. Just had to share!

Good for you. I just recently became good at making granny squares myself. I'd try several times before and like you, just couldn't get it. They were always missing a corner. Your accomplishment is terrific

I don't think that is stupid. I think that is great. Someone that is blind and able to crochet.

Congrats on figuring it out! I, too have been struggling with it. Can't believe that since I grew up in the "age" of the original granny square. Well, DD wants a granny square purse, so it was time to re-learn. It's not impossible to teach an old dog new tricks....but not easy either!!!! ROFL!!!!

 

Now we can "granny together"!

Congrats!! Just rememeber practice makes perfect. I'm sure we have all had trouble with a certain stitch or pattern.
