Chunky Granny

 

And here we have two more examples of granny squares that I'm taking to Genghis Con. 🤩 Another granny square experiment! These two pieces are chunky chunks of luscious, and this experiment is all about bulky. I bought six skeins of yarn at my favorite local shop, Stitcher's Garden. (Love that delightful place! Highly recommended for all things colorful and crafty. Unfortunately, the checkout gal told me that they are phasing out carrying yarn, and only going to have sewing items in the future. Ah, well, I'll still meander in there and marvel at the colors and patterns.) With those six lovely skeins I made two supersized granny squares. One has four colors in it (dark blue, light blue, red, and pink), and the other has two colors in it (purple and blue). Here's a whole folder of way too many pics, showing that I had way too much fun 😎 posing these pieces: Chunky Chunks

I started with the quad-color plan: dark blue, light blue, pink, and red. I turned those four skeins into one super long starting chain. (Yes, my fave method for creating my own custom colored super bulky yarn. Also known as unicorn rope.) Then I turned that starting chain into one big granny square, using a size N crochet hook. Yes. Bulky. 😁 And repeating the whole process, just using two colors for the second one, was just as much colorful fun. 

I think they make perfect seat cushions, to keep your tushy warm at a cold college football game. This could be a fun gift idea for sports fans, all done up in team colors. 

Love the woven look, and wonderful texture.

So bulky, so beautiful. 😍

Bulky + Colorful = Crochet Fun
