'So Crocheted Chic'

Yes indeed...Crochet has long been associated with being old fashioned 
yet, as with knitting, it has been revolutionized by modern imaginations! 

I love to crochet, due in part for the swift way a project can grow.
 Not more so, than the 'humble granny square'! 

I have a stool in my bathroom, very practical and particularly shabby, 
yet most definitely not 'shabby chic' that needed sprucing up.

Yet what to do has taken some time, until now!
My inspiration..do please visit Ingrid Jansen Wood & Wool Stool

For the most part she uses the granny square to cover her delightful little stools 
and so I thought I would have a go at covering 'So Shabby' and transform it to 'So Crocheted Chic' 






The wool I used came from Freedoms' range Gorgeous D.K .

The colours I chose reminded me of the sea, so felt suited to my project.
I have also decided to show the 'reverse'
Controversial?? 
perhaps but I loved the rippled affect of the reverse treble stitch, again reminding me of waves on the sea, so.....on it went back to front!

If you would like to know how to make a granny square I have put a tutorial on my Stitch Crochet page.
