I Diss Granny Squares, Unless in Afghans

This magazine from 1983, Great American Granny Squares, offers lots of projects. It has a few vintage patterns--doilies, bedspreads-- from heavy thread which are extraordinarily complex, but most of the patterns are worsted weight yarn made into squares like the one featured here: Old Fashioned Granny Vest.

The name is unintentionally ironic because old-fashioned crochet was never this simplistic in garment design or color mix. I am not sure even a master colorist like Kaffee Fassett could save what is essentially a set of squares slapped onto the human body as if any part of our bodies were squares. The children's versions are even worse as they use the same size yarn and the front of a vest or sweater becomes one giant square. The drawbacks of granny squares were also their selling point here: so simple to make! Well, yes, but why bother to put any effort however small into something this goofy looking? Ok, maybe a potholder for the first project, but after that, let's aim higher.

The afghan on the cover is not much better than the women's vest, but others included in the magazine are undeniably handsome, especially a monochromatic single square afghan in a range of oranges.

As this example shows, the descent of garment design into greater simplicity during the 1960s and the Youth Quake happened in needlework as well as in dressmaking. Making designs simpler was a tradition in children's clothing; making grown-women's garments equally simple was a new trend brought on the desire to look youthful no matter what. As a result, a lot of sophisticated garment design and needlework got forgotten for a while which is why pre-1960s books and magazines are so valuable. They remind us of great possibilities.

Those of you who have been with me for years might remember the crochet granny square waistcoat I made, and loved, but never wore...

It's not just me, right? All that time, effort, a beautiful garment, but somehow... It's just not... quite... Y'know ?

So, many years later I have brought some fusion to it, knitted a rib neckline to bring it up and in a bit, and am onto the sleeves.

In a moment of panic, I realised the Louisa Harding Ianthe yarn I originally used is now discontinued, but thanks to the wonder website that is yarnsub, I have found some that is as near as dammit the same. (50% merino 50% Cotton DK)

So thanks to number 3 son behind the lens, here I am in the garden, as the sun sets, to show you my progress.

I am SO GOING TO WEAR THIS! ❤️

WELL SNAP! We are late with our weekly: ♥️THE MORE YOU KNOW♥️ segment! This week was a crazy one y’all! If you were watching our IG stories, you may have seen the exciting ✨NEW✨ addition we have been working on getting underway (as of December 1st)! But if you missed it, it was a super sneaky and quiet insight to the expansion we have going on at our brick and mortar, but do not fret! We will have more inside looks coming up in the near future through our IG stories. Since we missed our weekly “the more you know”…we thought we would take a moment to just pop up a little somethin’ somethin’ you don’t usually see on our feed. CROCHET!!! That being said- did you know that the name means: “Small Hook”? Most people assume that crochet refers to the fabric that is used in the process, but this is not the case. The name actually refers to the process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of materials with a crochet hook. This is evident with the name which is derived from the French term crochet which translates to “small hook”. 💁🏻‍♀️The more you know ♥️ 🧶Kelsey is working on this super cute lap blanket, made out of various speckled, marled and commercial yarns using the “Granny Square” technique. #primroseyarnco #crochet #crochetersofinstagram #crochetersofig #crochetersofinsta #crochetersoftheworld #crochetersgonnacrochet #crochetersoninstagram #crocheters #crocheter #crochetlove #grannysquare #grannysquares #grannysquareblanket #grannysquaresrock #grannysquaretherapy #grannysquareday #grannysquarelove #crochetallday #crochetallthethings (at Primrose Yarn Co.) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClunnFmLd93/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I created a bag with so much fun. It was a real adventure. I wanted a unique bag full of fun to wear every day

It is made of acrylic wool for easy maintenance ( 30° by hand, flat drying)

The handle and the edge of the bag are retracted for more solidity

It is of a size that allows to carry many treasures.

The two sides are different.

Carpool line crochet chaos center right here. I don’t think I’ve mentioned it yet, but I’m planning on reopening my Etsy and updating the shop here next week. Actually, I had planned to do it this week and then I got sidetracked by that blanket last week and didn’t get anything done. So that update is coming next week.

I wanted to take a break from the big projects that I’m working on to crochet some classic granny squares 😌 Now that I’m adding a stack of granny squares to my WIPs I need to decide whether I want to make them into a top, cardigan, bag, or hat! Another thing I always get stuck on with granny squares is figuring out how I want to join them. What are your favorite methods for joining granny squares? 🪡 • • • • • • • • • #noelebelle #grannysquare #grannysquares #crochettherapy #crochetaddict #slowfashion #slowfashionmovement #crochet #lilysugarncream #yarnspirations #yarnspo #crochetinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_DVhovtxr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
