Here’s To My Mimi

My Mimi is my great-grandmother, and she is the one who taught me to crochet when I was a little girl.

Recently while visiting my parent’s house, my mom gave me one of my Mimi’s old granny square blankets.

Love this color combo!

So classic granny.

Didn’t hold up so well.

I loved the look of this motif so much I had to remake it for this month’s Motif of the Month.

However, the blanket hasn’t held up real well. A lot of it has slightly felted, so trying to recreate it was a little difficult.

This is my version of my Mimi’s granny square and it’s the newest Motif of the Month. It reminded me of a flower so I chose the colors you see for ease of viewing on the video tutorial. I highly recommend trying out some of my Mimi’s color choices though, they are fantastic!
