Elegant granny style crochet

In the deluge that was yesterday’s return to blogging, there was no crafty business. So, I am going to rectify that now. This variation on a granny square rug over at The Purl Bee did capture my imagination the other week. I have a pile of cheapy wool, mostly in one colour, that cost me $1.50 a ball at Spotlight a while back, and I think this is what it might become. I like that you can make the shape a bit more versatile this way.
