I was hooked at the age of 8 when my Granny showed me my first granny square. I thought she had made it up since it was named after her. Taught each of my children at age 8 but only one, my younger daughter Sara, took to it as I did. Now we run a little business that helps make it possible for her to stay home and raise my grand daughters. The older one is not that far away from 8 years. May the tradition continue.
