They are lovely, Mandy, and a great idea for using up that yarn.

I love an owl! I crocheted loads of them one year for a stall at a local fair. Those are fab, Mandy, and what a great way to use up yarn.

I can crochet amigurumi, I even sold a pattern on ravelry to an American yarn company (that’s quite a funny story) But I’ve struggled with my basic granny square blanket! I’ve got about 8 rounds in and someone suggested I started going backwards around in alternate rows and I’ve not got any further! No matter I’ve got 2 knitting projects on the go at the moment, I’m spinning on my spindle for Tour de Fleece and contemplating cutting out a sewing pattern! |

I found doing one giant continuous granny square got deathly dull fairly quickly, whereas doing patchwork with smaller squares seemed easier, despite having to sew them together.

So far have made the twins a large doll, some headbands and a purse each. Just finished these also - they are quite cute I think Love those! |

A bigger square will be more likely to distortion or twisting. They also seem to be slower and slower as they get bigger. You could make small ones to sew round the edge of the big one if you fancy a change of tack. |

Side to side blankets can be an alternative as each row is a fixed length and you know how long it will take to do and how much yarn is needed after you've done a few rows. The Attic24 site shows techniques and it's a lot less boring than just trebles.
