I'm not a fan of granny squares even if I've already done things using them, as a mini handbag, for example. You can love them or not but you can't deny it's such a clever and simple creation giving infinite possibilities.
This year we are celebrating it for the 5th time with @simplycrochetmag and thanks to @suregal27.
Often considered as old-fashioned (even by its name) it survives and even stars on podiums. How many beautiful granny garments from slippers to jackets, dresses and coats I've already seen, how many accessories and home decor pieces like bags, bracelets, lampshades, blankets!.. With today's beautiful yarns and multiple shades even a traditional granny square becomes a masterpiece but it doesn't stop here. Talented designers create incredible squares with flowers, peacock feathers and even complicated compositions - real small crochet paintings. Knitted grannies also exist now.
Today I want to celebrate this day with you, all my crochet friends and communities I like. It's been a long time I wanted to create something unusual playing with Peruvian broomstick and several days ago I don't know how and why decided to create a granny square transforming this stitch. I needed craft as therapy and I want to share the result with you. Those who want can download it from my Ravelry store for free today and I ask you to share if you find it interesting. It exists in 1 and 2-colour version. Happy#grannysquareday2018 to all of you!

Here is the back side of my broomstick granny squares defined by me but you can choose it as right side because it's reversible. Do you see the difference? Tell me which one you prefer.
