Can't stop grannying. 👵🔲🪝🧶

Finished up 60 squares and I'm onto layout and borders.

At some point I'll get back to making other things but I've really appreciated granny square therapy the last few weeks.

Sorry, Nolte. I've carried you around for 20 years and now is the day you are transformed into another art form.
