Today Anais asked me to teach her how to do crochet granny squares. We sat next to each other and I led while she followed with her own wool and hook.
It took a while to do the first one (top blue) and then we had lunch. Then we talked over the pattern - chain 6, slip stitch in first chain to make circle, chain three, two treble crochet, chain two, three treble crochet etc...........
She wrote the pattern down.
She did the second one (bottom turquoise) by herself following the pattern that she wrote down!
Tomorrow we might try reducing the original chain 6 to a chain 4 as we started with a chain 4 but she struggles to find the hole so we had to increase it to a chain 6. also tomorrow we might try doing chain 3 in the corners instead of a chain 2 to try and make the corners more (pointy).
Very proud of her today though as she was very patient (and determined)!

Today I crocheted a candle cover using pretty lilac and cream wool.
Although it has been overcast for most of the day it has been incredibly warm. this evening it started raining.
