Belated wishes for International Granny Square Day! Did you hook a granny to mark this special occasion? Unfortunately I didn’t get any crochet time on the day itself, but I shared a few I’ve made in the past six months on Instagram, and in the days since I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the granny square explosion over there. I saw a really cool one with a spiral in the centre which inspired me to try my very first spiral myself this afternoon. Bit tricky but lots of fun!
Speaking of Instagram, @hooksandhills hit 2k followers overnight, which is quite a milestone! I’ve been on IG for a while but I’ve only really started actively interacting in the last four months or so. There is a fantastic, thriving crochet community over there and I enjoy great yarny chats with people from all over the world, plus of course one can’t help but be wildly inspired by the amazing crochet that people are posting on a daily basis. If you’re not already there, I encourage you to check it out 🙂
In other news, as planned I’m blogging less and organising my time better. I wouldn’t say I’m totally on top of things – far from it! – but defintely going in the right direction. There is a little less dust – and a little more Sophie 😁
Until next time – happy hooking!
Love the spiral square! I’ve got a book of crochet blocks from our library and it has a few spiral ones in, maybe I’ll try them!

Oh do! It took me a little while to get my head around it but it progresses logically once you get going (if you want it to, that is – I’ve been discovering the joys of freeform recently 🙂 )

Go for it! I got a new freeform book recently (will post about it soon) and I’ve been working some more spirals using the instructions in it as a guide, so interesting!
