Turns out, very hard! Those of you that have read my previous post, I have been trying to learn to crochet.

Ha! If only these were mine! Im finding it sooooooo difficult! I've watched videos on youtube, had a friend show me what to do, yet the skill that is granny square-ing (?) fails me. This is my *ahem* fourth (ok, maybe fourteenth) effort...

| My effort at a granny square |
Ok, one thing you will notice is, ITS NOT A SQUARE!!!! Im getting increasingly frustrated at my granny squares looking like knotted wool, and a circle of knotted wool at that!! Oh well, I'll keep trying, the granny square will not beat me!
This is what I eventually want to make....
A bit ambitious maybe but the instructions say "easy". I beg to differ!
In other news, our summer holidays are still going well, no major catastrophes as yet (touch wood) and this is what we did yesterday...

We didnt have any paper cake cases but I can assure you our chocolate rice krispy cakes tasted just as scrummy! Plus Madison had loads of fun as she did most of it herself, I just helped melt the chocolate and get even-sized blobs. Lovely (but no good for my diet)!

p.s. any help on the granny square front would be very much appreciated! Thanks to everyone who emailed me last time I asked for advice, it helped me get to this stage x
Don't know if you are still looking for crocheting help or not since you made the granny square but I have a good book it's "Maran Illustrated Knitting and Crocheting". If it's something you can't find or if you just want the instructions for the Granny's I can scan it and send it to you. The one you made looks pretty good. I'm just wondering did you make a special pattern or just a standard granny?
