Modern Grannies: Granny Squares with a Twist with Rick Mondragon
These grannies are special! They are self-contained modules ready to grow, multiply, or morph to your needs and desires. Because they are quick-to-make and portable, you can capture found moments to make sweet little blocks that will patiently wait to become more! Rick redefines-and refines-the granny square through scale and process. Rather than using scrap yarns, specially chosen yarns in a finer weight bring them front and center. He will share assembly ideas and fill-in block options as well. BTW, he is a lefty, so this is the perfect class for southpaw as well as right-handed crocheters. Note: Need to know crochet basics.
