Help needed! Granny Squares

By Faculty and Staff, Students

Do you crochet? If so I need help crocheting classic granny squares. These are a square motif with clusters of double crochet. Each granny square is about 3.5 by 3.5 inches. These granny would make a house for my Art Senior Show which represents a community of people coming together to create a home. If you are interested in helping or have any questions, please feel free to contact me, Oz, at ood10@albion.edu or 469-688-4068. Please drop these off at the Bobbitt Visual Art Center, there’s a box labeled Granny Squares next to Room 103, by March 11. Thank you so much for your time.
