This cute little square is a "Wiggles Square" designed by DebI Y, pattern found here. I made this from scraps of worsted weight yarn for a SIBOL challenge. With this pattern, the square is crocheted and then the wiggles are added after by crocheting around the stems of DC in the background block. It's very cute and very easy!
I'm very impressed with how Mrs. Twins organizes her challenges, especially her rule about limits to how many squares! I've seen it before where someone offers to make a blanket from donated squares and all of a sudden people are sending dozens upon dozens of squares. It makes lots of sense to me to limit donors to one square and then end the challenge when sufficient squares have been assembled. The finished blanket really ends up being a mosaic of the efforts of a multitude of crafters, as it was meant to be!
There were some curious looks while I was making the square at work yesterday. As I worked the light blue wiggles one of the sales reps approached to comment about how bright my colour choices were. "I guess people like all sort of things in garment fashion these days" he remarked. LOL. Imagine wearing an orange outfit with blue and white wiggles!
It's Friday, and as usual you can head over to Tami's Amis to have a look at the accomplishments of dozens of other crafters. There's always lots of interesting things to see!

Thanks for the morning smile! This project is very cute. And, yes, I would wear an orange outfit with white and blue wiggles!
I love orange and blue together, not sure I'd wear it as an outfit though! The wiggles are very cute :)
Well It would be a good color combo for the 70's
I love squares with the little ruffly edges :) That and I'm on a turquoise/orange kick so I'm fond of your color choice haha
Very cute. I'm not much of a crocheter so it looks hard.
Sure I'd be happy to dye one up in a light grey for you. Give me a bit, I happen to have grey alpacas so I've never needed to carry a grey dye so it'll take a few days to get that dye in. I'll keep you posted.
That is indeed a super cute block. Thanks for the link!
Love the colors! Very retro :)
That is super cute and I love using up scraps.
Fun block and cool colors - I haven't crocheted a granny in a long time. Thanks for sharing...
The colors look awesome!
cute square and lovely colour combo :-)
Ha-ha! It sounds like the rep was trying so hard to say something nice. : )
I like the wiggles, and the challenge sounds like a great way to organize charity crafting.
Very cute interpretation of granny squares, adorable!
Cute square and I really like those colours together and the wiggles!
That is a great square!
Obviously that person hasn't set foot in a middle school lately! Cute square.
Very cute square. Yeah -- maybe not a good color for clothes, but for a blanket? Just perfect.
That pattern came out super cute and I really like the color combo you used too!
Orange is always awesome. That square is really cute.
Super pattern. The 3D effect of the wiggles sounds like a great idea
I love the square! I've never seen anything like the wiggles before. It does sound like Ann excellent way to organise a challenge
