This is my first granny square for the granny-along (hi Craft readers!). I might change the way I make the cream border, but I’ll [...]

What’s to be done with all the leftovers from the ripple-along? Another back-to-basics crochet project: granny squares! Won’t you join in?

Ripple-Along, Day 1, originally uploaded by kpwerker.
I did this last night (the red row isn’t finished yet).
