Granny Square Day 2023!

     Hello! I hope you had a great day on Tuesday submersing yourselves in colours and stitchy fun! Isn't it fab that we actually have a day that celebrates crochet and the most used motif of our craft?!     Granny Squares are probably one of the very first things that we learn to make when we start crocheting - they are just so versatile and relatively quick to make that they become a favourite part of our crochet vocabulary and unite us in a way that perhaps no other part of the craft does.       Despite this, I suppose Granny Square Day could also spark some arguments among people. For example, what is a Granny Square? Is it the traditional Granny Stitch worked in rounds? Do the rounds all have to be different colours, or at least alternating, or is one colour OK? Or are they any crocheted square worked in Trebles(UK), with puffs, clusters, popcorns and clusters thrown in for variety? For me I always think of Granny Squares being traditional, in all colour-ways.       It&
