Granny squares?

Started this discussion. Last reply by P. Jeanne Haessler Sep 25, 2010. 14 Replies

Granny squares don't seem like a good square option because it's not a tight stitch so it seems like it wouldn't be warm. Am I off base? What are your thoughts?

I was playing around with crochet flowers and decided to make a granny square vest. The front took me a saturday night and I double crocheted the back. I think it turned out pretty well.

"Sally, it shouldn't be too much but mail from the post office and not those pack and ship stores. I did that once and it's almost twice as much to mail! I ship med sized boxes with approx. 40-50 awards for around $25. Hope this helps"

Hey, Kirsten:

I understand your obsession!  How 'bout posting a snapshot of those grannies before they hit the post office?

Do you not just knit every stitch like you would when knitting on a circular needle? You're always on the 'right side' presumably?

Kirsten shipping is a terrible cost. Some poeple do fundraising to offset the costs, and there were quite a few good ideas for that which may be listed somewhere. I am not posting again till after Christmas this year. Our postage costs have risen unfrotunately. Woldn't it be nice if they reduced them rather than raised them! Or had a special charity parcel costs. Your group did beautiful work, and it will be very appreciated in SA. That is one thing about KAS they record everything that arrives and they show you what is happening to our work which is a huge plus for me.

thanks.
