Granny Square Crochet Along Revisited (Week Three)

Another week down and what a great week it was. Lot's of granny squares were completed but as always there could be only one winner for the weekly draw. Congrats to Mary Cyphert Jellison for winning a years subscription to Mainly Crochet. I bet you can't wait to browse through all the wonderful patterns now at your fingertips.

This week we have a copy of the Breezy Shell Skirt pattern up for grabs thanks to Beverly Ross of Cozy Cactus Creations.

The breezy shell skirt is a light skirt that is perfect for summer! The pattern includes instructions for customizing the size and amount of ruffle, so you can make your skirt just as you want it. The skirt looks fantastic solid, or striped, so you can make it for the wearer's personality and style preference. The drawstring waist keeps it up, and helps the fit to last through some growing.

Granny Square CAL (Week Three)

I love checking my Facebook page to see all the Granny Squares that have been entered.

If you have just joined us in this CAL (crochet along) you can get a refresher in week 1, you can also have a look at the squares we worked up last week in week 2.

First of all I apologize for the bad quality photo's. My photos are not that good to start with but it is pouring rain here right now so the photo's had to be taken inside.

Right, lets get started.
