I, too love the Peaches and Cream cotton yarn. I had previously planned to focus on granny squares for stress relief and figure out what to do with them later. Good video. I liked the Japanese granny square bag.
Definitely needed this today! Thank you for sharing. Awesome ideas and tips I hadn’t thought of….but the burnout/crojo has been real lately. Going to start a granny square pile now :)
@cortisslynnette1604 Hello my dear. I'm so glad I put this video out right when you needed it. I know what you mean, I've struggled a little myself with my crojo. I think you will find that making granny squares really helps. Let me know if you get your crojo back or not. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve that may help. 😍
Hi Tess, new subscriber here! I love your channel! My mom just went home with the angels on February this year.😞 I took care of her for three years. I miss her very much. I am still grieving and going back to Crochet little by little. I have thought about getting my crojo back and your vídeo makes so much sense! Thank you for all the ideas 💡. All I have done lately are a bucket hat, a bandanna, and right now I’m working on a second bucket hat. None of them were made with granny squares, but I think that is a wonderful idea for getting my love of crochet 🧶 back. Thanks for sharing
Hi Aurora! Oh goodness, welcome to my little RUclips family. I am tickled pink to have you here! I'm so sorry you are dealing with grief right now, dear. It's so hard to lose your mom. I lost my mom almost five years ago, and it still hurts because I miss her so much. I have a stepmom that I am caring for right now. I know how that goes as well. I bet you don't know what to do with yourself half the time now. Hang in there, dear, it does get a little better with time. Getting your crocodile back will definitely help you. Keep working on those projects and start making some granny squares. Hugs! 😍
I must say . thanks for sharing . I’m so happy I came across this feed today . Never seen your videos before . Thanks you have made my day a little brighter . Been crocheting for years , but some people think granny squares is out dated , well when I did it in the early eighties . I was told by a guy learn something new . Well I did and I still love the granny square . Blessings to you and yours , and thanks again 😊 .
Thanks for the boost Tess! This is a great idea! My daughter hates sewing granny squares together, but making the granny squares is great for getting your crojo back and I'll sew them together ❤. I love the Taylor Swift dress! Seeing yours makes me realize it is a simple pattern. I think I'll give it a try.
I love granny squares and agree with you. I’m a new subscriber and learned granny squares as a kid. I tried doing a blanket with an unfamiliar yarn in new stitches that just wasn’t coming out right so I set it aside. And like you, my fall back when I get frustrated is a break doing granny squares. I also like that as long as you get plenty of your background or outer ring color for each square, you don’t have to worry as much about running out of colors because you can make all different colors or color schemes which is nice because ai end up buying either too much or not enough yarn when I want to make a blanket in another stitching sometimes. And I like that I don’t get as bored because I can make a lot of different kinds of squares.
I love granny squares! I'm not crazy about putting thenm together. I made my granddaughter a duster length vest last year. It was a big hit. I usually send most of my granny squares to Lottie at Enjoying the Journey, Cancer as a Lifestyle. Here on RUclips. She loves putting them together as blankets for her ministry.
Hi Tess, I love this video! It has been such an inspiration to me. I think I've seen it 4 time already. I love diagrams too.I was starting to make a fall throw blanket I've been wanting to make but I just wasn't into it. Then I saw this video. There is a pattern for a granny square I have held onto for years. I have experimented with color combinations an have 5 squares made. I have selected the colors I want to use, shopped my stash,, and my autumn gold colored hook is ready to go. Thank you, Tess, for being such a wonderful inspiration to me and to others.
I really enjoy making lap blankets using 9 very large granny squares. I usually try to make 1 square with 1 skein of yarn and then do a join as you go.
Thank you so much. I was battling cancer for years before the Lord cured me. My brain wasn't working well enough to do any crochet. I am able to start back again. I'm so thankful for your advice.
I don't like the traditional granny square but have come to love the solid, circle-in-square, and solid flower squares. After finishing a big crochet project, it's nice to do something small in size.😊
I’m new to your channel and I love it already. I needed to do no-brainer crocheting and so picked out some of my favorite multicolor skins of worsted weight yarn . The variation and one scheme makes each grannies square look coordinated but different. When I need a gift, I will have stacks to choose from to make something beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts with us ❤
Good afternoon everyone what is everybody making today on a Thursday afternoon I am making my purse for the first time I follow a young lady on tik Tok and she was making it on Thursday and I decided I wanted to learn how to do it I went on RUclips how to make scrunchies my first time doing it
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed it! How long would it be too much time to take off crocheting when you’ve lost your crojo? It’s been about two months or maybe more for me. I want to start again but I’ve never liked granny squares and not made them although I have a lot of saved videos on them. I am a “permanent” beginner and late diagnosed autistic older woman too, and when I get a burnout or shutdown it’s really hard to get back into anything. It’s like my hands and brain fight each other. But I have some “peaches and concrete” yarn that I may start doing kitchen stuff with 😊.
Sorry, you probably said it and I missed it but where did you get the projects you were showing on phone or were they just suggestions from different places 12:36
I'm trying to catch up on watching my RUclips friends. I have that book. I am trying to get back to reading cause I use to read all the time. I'm actually in a book club now. I am making a granny square tank top out of 2 big squares. making my own pattern. I also restarted my mary maxim crochet club. Sorry so winded today.
Hi Kim! I totally know what you mean about playing catch up on watching RUclips friends. Been there, done that! 🤣 I love to read, too. Joining a book club is a fantastic idea! I should do that! Wow, your top is going to be awesome. I would love to see if if you have the chance to email me a picture. Thank you for your sweet comment, Kim! 😍
@@PeachesCream-hh8mz Oh my goodness, that price went way up from a year ago. Thank you for letting me know. I'll research some less expensive books. That's awfully high!
I tried to find this book…to no avail. Barnesandnoble NOPE. AMAZON $33.00. I guess it is out of print. Print date was March 2013. Yes, RUclips showed me your channel. I did subscribe.

That's a great plan for stress reduction. You go girl. I love it! That's exactly what I do and it works! 💕
I love diagrams too. 💜 my favorite cotton yarn is Hobby Lobby’s ‘I love this cotton’.

@rhondahiggins5989 Wow, thank you Rhonda! 😍
When i am bored..i practice new stitches..❤
I'm always on the lookout for new stitches! I enjoy using unusual stitches in something that is usually mundane, like my kitchen dishclothes.
Love granny squares love your tutorial please do more😀❤️👍
