That's funny, just this week I've been trying to tame my disdain for crochet (I'm a knitter, and crochet feels weird) by attempting some grannies. You MUST make the giant ball. It is spectacular.
I have a love/hate relationship with crochet granny squares... Sometimes they are so well-done and beautiful and other times, yuck. I was really glad to see Christopher Kane feature crochet in such a strong way on the catwalk. Love or hate it, I was a lovely representation of the craft and I was happy to see it promoted!
I'm pretty into the idea of the granny square robot right there. If I knew how to crochet I'd be all over that!
