POPSGranny Spiral I attempted to crochet this in two colours. After an hour or two of wrangling I finally managed to get to the fifth and final round. That's when I realized I had completely screwed up! I haven't made a granny square before, and didn't realize that the corners aren't crocheted *into* the chain stitches but around. Oi! Will make another attempt tonight after trying my had at a traditional granny square.

POPS101 New Uses for Everyday Things Velcro, whose name is a combination of the French words velour and crochet, was developed in the early 1940s, after Swiss inventor George de Mestral returned home from a walk with his dog and noticed that pesky cockleburs had stuck to his pants and his dog’s coat. Examining the burrs under a microscope, de Mestral found the basis for a unique two-sided fastener — one side with stiff hooks (like the burrs) and the other with soft loops (like the fabric of his pants). Use Velcro to: 1. Hang pieces of art or photos on a wall. Stick several strips of Velcro to the wall and to the back of a lightweight frame. 2. Prevent a jacket or a blouse from gaping open. Sew small pieces of Velcro between the buttons to create a smooth surface.
