I've been working on these granny squares with colors that remind me of the colors that Cath Kidston uses in her fabrics. The granny square was the first thing that I learned to crochet as a young girl so I can make them without a pattern.
When I make granny squares, I usually start by making a center from each color of yarn.

After I use each skein once, it goes into a separate basket or tote bag. Then I randomly pull out each color to do a second round.
I continue in this way until I have put 5 rounds on each square. Then I stop crocheting and go back and sew in all of the loose ends. I find it is easier to sew them in this way instead of waiting until I finish all the squares.
Right now I don't have a definite plan in mind. I may choose one of the colors of yarn and use it as a joining color or I may join them with white. Any ideas?
For now I just plan to keep making squares and see where the project goes.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. Happy Easter to you and your family.
I love your blog and the crochet...
