KathynThanks for the compliments. I would be happy to walk down the street wearing the same dress as you any day. I have all the centers complete with ends woven in. I am starting the second round of color today. After the first round of color, ends are easier to weave in with a crochet hook as you finish each section. I am also going to join it as I go so that when I am done with the squares the dress will be done. I can’t wait to wear it!nPeace and Yarn,nAnnie

The Granny Square dress looks like FUN! It would be adorable on a young girl. I have fond memories of the granny square poncho that my grandmother made for my sister and I. When my sister was older she begged (and received) a granny square afghan which she, her husband and children use to (play) fight over when cuddling on the couch. Sadly that afghan has worn out and neither my sister or I crochet. I wonder if there is a knit version…hmmm.

The granny go go is great! And you are so right, it makes a huge differences seeing these knits on real people — thanks so much for sharing those picks. nnAlso, just wanted to point out that Caro posted a terrific zipper tutorial recently, which she demonstrates on the Pump Jockey, here:nhttp://splityarn.com/2011/03/27/easiest-knitted-zipper-install-ever.htmlnnyes — she used blocking wires! Suddenly I’m not so scared of zippers.

The go-go granny has looked fantastic on EVERYONE I’ve seen wear it. It’s the wonder dress for flattery!nnAnd I’ve noticed that pure examples of nearly *any* particular fashion style get haters–the super 80′s stuff that’s in now, someone wearing lots of bright colors together, someone dressing exceedingly revealingly, etc. etc. To which I say: Whatever! We all have our style loves and hates. Live and let live, baby.

l’m getting ready to knit the Lanesplitter skirt and can hardly believe how excited I am about it! I NEVER thought I would knit — much less WEAR — a handknit skirt, but I am prepared now to love it.

Agreed. I gotta respect your respect of the dress. “Do I have anything knit I love but can’t believe I would? Well, no. I’m not that brave a knitter. But I do have the black, bubble raincoat? Does that count? I tried it on as a dare, bought it, and heart it. Let it rain!

Or maybe just convert it to a skirt for the golf course. THAT would totally work!
