I had my first Brown Owls meeting yesterday. We were supposed to be learning how to make Granny Squares... This is how that went. 
Lovely Bec's from Edward and Lilly's Granny Square
Katy's Scary Spidery Granny SquareWTF?? I did meet some lovely people, like Ellie from Red Seed Studio, who prints beautiful fabrics and i admire greatly. She got to listen to me rabbit on about my new love of screen printing. She was kind enough to give me some tips on some good books to find too.
One of Ellies Creations, i forgot to get a photo of her crocheting!
Angelica and Julia, Julia created this cute little rabbit brooch. Julia is going to have a blog soon... so stay tuned.
and Melissa from Nushka Dolls, which is such a cool website too by the way.

It was great and it was good to sit and chat with people who are nuts about craft like me, instead of people who think i AM nuts BECAUSE i craft!
and just to show i am a persistent bugger, i tried and tried later that night and came up with this!!
My First Ever, in my whole life, Granny Square
Hopefully next time i will remember more names and get to meet everyone instead of realiseing there were all these people there who i wanted to meet coz i read there blogs but didn't. Until next time :-)

You are awesome! I'm so glad you persisted with the granny, are you addicted now or what?
It was so great to finally meet you, look forward to having a longer chat at the next one xx
I love your spidery granny square! Sorry I was up the other end of the table and didn't get to talk, next time hopefully. It is great to have a group who don't think you're nuts because you like craft isn't it!
What a beautiful granny square you ended up with. Your not nuts, you are all extremely talented. I love your new profile pic too!!!
This is fabulous, Katy! Looks like so much fun. I've added my name to the waiting list so hopefully I'll be joining in soon too. Love your blog. K
Hi Katy,
It was really lovely to meet you, and have a chat. And, hey - I really like talking about screen printing, was good to have someone that excited to talk with about it.
Good on you for keeping on with the granny square - yah! Me, I moved on to other projects, but I'm happy with it, so that's okay hey (thanks for your lovely comments, I think its the wool I was using - so so so nice to work with).
Can't wait to see a post of your skirt - it was fantastic. What an excellent job you did.
See you next Owl meet-up.

Congratulations on your first successful granny square - may it be the first of many!
That's the squarest first granny square I've ever seen! Nice work Katy :)
