So after weeks of watching many tutorials and getting no where, yesterday it clicked after watching about 100 times an American tutorial the woman was brilliant. So I finally feel like I've started to gets to grips with the granny square. Obviously it's a bit messy/loose but it's so fast and enjoyable compared to the knitting I've been doing. But I live in a tiny town and my only option for yarn was some awful stuff which keeps splitting. What would anyone recommend so I can order some from Amazon today?

This is my first try at a granny square feel free to points out my many mistakes I can see I've missed a few stitches. Smile

And a couple more...
My go-to shop is usually Wool Warehouse, but I do have a lovely local yarn shop not too far away which sells Stylecraft. Plus I have an ever-growing addiction to hand-dyed yarn (most of which I am gradually turning into a pile of socks)

Is there any way to move this from chat? Some great tips and links, would be great to keep this thread

I think you will have to report it strawberry and ask for it to go somewhere more relevant, is there a hobbies or arts and crafts section? (Usually stick to chat myself Smile )

Hi everyone - we're just going to move this over to Arts and Crafts so it doesn't disappear.
