Well poop. A. says the pic in the post below is of the back of the granny square, not the front. I can't tell - which is which? I think maybe the bottom one here is the back, but that's just because I know I have a 50/50 chance...
I have to be honest - the slippers aren't my only escape from the blanket. I met with A. a short while back and learned some more about crochet. We experimented with crocheting a 2-color spiral and I also made my first granny square. The double spiral is prep work for the hat of obsession, of course. And I'm really taken with the whole idea of granny squares - they're so modular!
