Greg,
Welcome! Smile
That's wonderful how you learned to crochet from your youngest daughter - how kind of her to teach you. And kudos for making granny square blankets! They're so versatile and can be fantastic for scrap projects or just plain mindless crochet, when you want to let your mind wander (or watch TV, lol), while keeping your hands busy.
It's so fascinating how seeing the granny square diagram helped you! My thought is that perhaps your brain deals better with crochet diagrams rather than written patterns. And if you ever want to branch out beyond the granny, there are granny square variations (unfortunately, not all designers chart them) to keep you busy. There's a sunburst, a hexagon (still using the granny stitch) and there are solid "grannies" (some of those aren't really grannies anymore, but they're still called grannies, lol, no idea why).
And if you prefer conventional grannies to variations, there's always the option for continuing to make granny square blankets, which no doubt will be treasured by your family members and friends for years! Kiss


Excuses zijn niet nodig. Ik vond het ook moeilijk te omschrijven wat ik precies bedoelde.Maar ik weet het nu.
Ik weet dat er uit een streng garen ongeveer 1500 a 1600 kruisjes gemaakt kunnen worden met 2 draadjes.
Aan de hand van het aantal kruisjes wat onder "count" staat weet ik nu hoeveel strengen ik ongeveer nodig ben van elke kleur

Mijn hartelijk dank voor uw geduld, uitleg en beantwoorden van mijn "probleem".

Ik kan beginnen.
Hartelijke groet,Henny Aly

Sandy,

We entirely agree!  Smile  Thank you again.  Smile

Line,

Merino sheep...yes!  Kiss  A must have to round out the fiber collection! Wink

Your kitchen sounds lovely.  Kiss  What did the previous owners do?  I'm always surprised at the strange things people do when decorating.  It's why I can't watch those shows where they decorate someone's home.  I want to yell at the screen, "Why...WHY are you doing that?"  One one show, a couple were endlessly complaining about a really beautiful lamp we both thought looked great, and the person helping them redecorate had found a very ordinary blah lamp to replace it.  LOL, the cast-offs were better than the new things for decorating!

Absolutely...we must have nice large craft rooms...this is a non-negotiable point!  Shelves of fiber in every possible color...hee hee, are you drooling, too?  Laughing

Madhatter, I've let Terry (Support) know you'd like the upgrade.  Smile
