Since I'm on a Granny Square bent, I came across this picture and thought I would share. What an idea to decorate! I love all the bright colors, and their use of borders on both the squares and on the shapes in general.

Granny Style Decorating

So it started out as just some pratice with the Granny Square...
And the thought that I should do something with the yarn that my boyfriend gave me before he comes to see me.
And then it just grew... and grew, and I started adding colors!
What do you think? Is it destined to be a wall hanging, an afghan, or something else entirely?

Real Men Crochet
YouTube - Boise State's Ian Johnson on ESPN Gameday
I came across this video recently. What a refreshing look on crochet. I'm always excited when I see men who are able to do textile stuff- be it crochet, knitting or something else. It used to be that kitting was something all men knew how to do 200 years ago- how else were they susposed to get socks? I think it's unfortunate that now it's considered a 'girl thing.' When men do something like this to shake up the gender image, or just because they love it, they should get some kuddos.
However, looking up on it more I found out something very disheartening.

Apparently Ian Johnson isn't allowed to sell his scarves, hats or other crocheted items, even if he gives them to charity.

I suppose it makes sense, seeing at as his popularity increases they didn't want trouble forming, but at the same time it's a pity when someone does something unusual that it gets nipped in the bud.
What do you think? Should he be able to sell his beanies? Or is it too much of a liability?
