Review-Granny Square Love by Sarah London


My dear mother sent me a Chapters gift card for Christmas, so I got to browse through the book store, which is always fun.  I decided on this book, Granny Square Love, by Sarah London.  So far I have made her pattern for a hot water bottle cover, and I love it! It's a very bright colored book, she is not afraid of color, which has been giving me courage to try bolder color combinations.  There are patterns for seat covers, pillow cushions, a tea cozy, afghans, and many many more.  If you are hunkered down for the winter and have odds and ends of yarn in your stash, this is the project book for you!

  1. I read that Granny Squares were very popular in the 1970's and someone suggests they go back to at least the Victorian era. It's cool how great ideas keep getting new life.

  2. I guess there are no new ideas...granny squares are seeing a resurgence of sorts right now, they're hip and retro!

  3. Sooo cute! I'd need lessons before I could start, though . . .
