I am making a big granny square and it doesn't look square to me. It looks a little lopsided. Do you have any suggestions? I have a question.

You know, I got stuck in the same place on the pattern too. It was a bit hard for a newbie to follow! Good job :-) . You know, I got stuck in the same place on the pattern too.

Once you get the hang of it, you can just blindly crochet yourself into a sea of squares! :-) Crocheting granny squares is one of the easiest things to do.

I really love to crochet, and have been following Heather's lessons. That granny square pattern was really hard to follow...it's great that you found a video, I think that's the best way to "get it". Re: incorporating other colors, it's not too difficult. I think the main thing is getting used to following the "general" granny square pattern. Happy crocheting! Looks great Candace!
