Description:

This is a USA swap only. Feel free to host your own international one. ALSO - there are a couple of swappers that sometimes join my swap that are from Canada, but have a USA address too....PLEASE CHECK YOUR PARTNERS PROFILE

You will send two 7" basic traditional granny square to your assigned partner. One of the granny squares needs to be an "Ugly Stepsister" theme. Ugly color combinations or just plain ugly colors or whatever you feel is ugly to you. The other square is using any colors you wish as long as each round is a different color

IMPORTANT!!! Each granny must be made using the basic traditional granny square pattern. Also, you MUST use a 4-ply worsted weight acrylic yarn. DO NOT use cotton or wool for these squares and DO NOT use anything lighter than 4-ply. You must use a different color yarn for each round so that each granny will have a rainbow of colors, thus the swap name. The number of rounds depends on the size hook you use and how tight/loose you crochet. Please measure your squares accurately and make sure that they are as close to 7 inches as possible! ALSO Make sure all ends are woven in and clipped!! AND both squares should be different from each other.

Any questions, please send me a message. Rating requirement for 4.8 and up. With no recent 1's or 3's. Newbies welcome with a WELL filled out and detailed profile. (Yes, I do check.) NEW Apparently, I now need to add the following: If you are going to be gone within 3 days of partners being assigned and not able to check into swap-bot then you need to contact me and let me know so I don't ban you from the swap. Frankly, I thought this was just good manners, but apparently not.

Also ~ I live in "Boonyville" Michigan and sometimes our internet connection isn't very good. This is especially true when it rains & in the winter months. So please be patient, partners will get assigned and if needed I will extend the send date.

Hi! Quick question, the regular granny square pattern is just a bunch of double crochet and chains right? I want to make sure I am doing the right one! Thanks!

@Honzfronz - yes that's the right one.

I don't think there ever could be an ugly granny square, but we'll give it a try!! Cute idea!!

I chose all of my variegated yarns, the result wasn't beautiful, but it wasn't ugly... back to the drawing board!

Mine came out a half inch too small which now I see the person sent to me had the same problem....If you add another row then it's too big...so I guess ask the person your sending to if they will be okay with the size because the person I sent to wasn't very happy with the smaller size. I on the other had can use them whatever size.
