I think you mean a never ending granny square? here is a tutorial if it helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScjuqfOhtH4

Thats the first ive seen an never ending granny, have to say, i didnt like it
Think ill stick with an ordinary one.

I prefer the normal one too, I wouldn't be able to cope with it not having a proper end

I would do it, starting off would be strange but at least you don't have to join the squares I made 25 squares then realised I need too many for a blanket so I made some into a bag. If I attempt a blanket again i'll do either the stripes, ripple or the never ending version.

I've been crocheting for about 1-2 years not very often though and only really made granny squares. I've been trying to get more into it this year and so far made a crochet hook case and some fingerless gloves. Current WIP is a scarf ravelry link





EDIT: my current WIP

Just wanted to say hello. I've just taken up crochet so doing little things here and there. I seem to be finding thicker wool and hooks easier to use. I want to crochet a small item for a colleague at work who is due her baby in a month or so. I have a go at booties but can't get the hang of it. I'm using My First Regia wool for the baby gift idea so it's a 2 or 3 hook and I find it very fiddly. Not sure what I am doing wrong! I am really a novice so am looking for something easy to break me in gently. Can't do a blanket as a different colleague has crocheted her one but open to suggestions as to what I could use my wool for. Maybe a soft toy. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I've not used that wool before, or such a small hook, but u might be best to check out the companies website for free patterns for the wool.
i would suggest baby mittens and a hat.

(btw, you can never ever have too many baby blankets! )

Be ware of baby blankets with holes, little fingers can get caught in holes and threads which can restrict blood flow

Hello,

I just found this lovely thread and hope you don't mind if I join in now and then. I will be on maternity leave soon and would like to start crocheting again (learned it when I was in primary school, and been doing it on and off since). Thought I show some samples:

If you haven't seen it before, ravelry.com is highly recommended by me for patterns. There's quite a few free patterns, and you can also see patterns that people have for sale.

I haven't crocheted in a while, but I love doing it.
