Hoot and Hootabelle, how awesome is that any chance of swapping a pattern chippy? My kids would go crazy over that!
Cass and MrsFab I'm still trying to get the hang of a basic granny square, though this is supposed to be the easiest. My mum makes beautiful granny square blankets, everytime I've tried it myself though it just does not look right. I start my blankets off like this but then swap to other stictches to complete it.
Pholi, good luck to to your DH with that it sounds complicated!!
I just have a pattern i made up myself (my daughter is obsessed with Hoot), but would be happy to share it with you once i write it up properly
