I love granny squares. When Grandma taught me to crochet, it was a granny square that she used. Even now *mumble mumble* years later, granny squares are my first choice and if all else fails, my last. :)

This is a lap aghan I recently finished (okay, I haven't trimmed the ends off yet, I'm lazy and it's tedious) using Red Heart. It's based on the quilt pattern "Around the World" which is a lot of fun to quilt, being quick and easy.


This is a square I'm doing for a friend as a birthday/I'm sorry I keep forgetting important dates gift. Red Heart, like granny squares, tends to be my first choice in afghans.

When I took her to the store, I fully expected to be in there for while, since my friend is not known for her quick decisions, but within five mintues of me saying 'pick five colors' she had these picked out and I really like the way they go together. I'm planning on taking two of the interior colors - the pale blue and green, most likely - and using them as a border, otherwise that dark pink is a bit overwhelming.
