Did you participate in Granny Square Day 2022 this week? It’s not something I usually do, but on Sunday evening I had some time to myself (!!) while everyone was asleep (!!!) and there wasn’t anything else urgent that needed doing (!!!!) so I decided to do a little doodling with my hook and see if I could come up with something a bit different for my contribution.
Squaring a pentagon can be a bit tricky, but I think I figured it out! The trick was to make 5 pointed flower into a circle first, and then square the circle 😉
