Giant is relative to a normal 4-5 row granny square...but its really a lap blanket. I resorted to the granny blanket method because it guarantees you straight sides (something I may or may not struggle with...). It also turned out to be my fiance's favorite blanket to cuddle up with. Remember I said it was a lap blanket...? I'll let your imagination paint that picture. But really, the granny square method for a blanket is nice because it doesn't have too many holes but it's also not too dense. The drape of the "fabric" is great, too. Obviously in love with these yellow-gray-brown color combinations, I set out to make the granny blanket a RECTANGLE (cue oohs and aws) but adding traditional granny squares. I did this. And then took it all out. The drape of the traditional granny squares was so much flimsier than the center square, and it drove me crazy. Yes, now I have a gazillion tiny yarn balls [picture coming soon]. But I will find something to do with them... My favorite afghan yarn is Lion Brand Vanna's Choice - it's just soft enough and is an Amazon add-on product. I am also partial to the aluminum hooks - they stay so cool in your hands.
Stay tuned for more projects! I learned how to knit! What needle projects are you working on now? Bailey
