Granny Square Tutorial (HOOK ONLY)

Using the techniques I've taught myself while crocheting, I was able to put together a basic granny square. It turned out super cute. This version is what I consider to be the single crochet or lite version since it takes less bands (I have a larger version too.) I was asked to put together this square after a person posted their version to the RL Facebook page. I figured that since the technique to crocheting with bands in this manner is original to me and that a normal, no frills granny square isn't really an original design. I was pretty excited that people came to me for it. Definitely makes me feel pretty good!

I hope you are up for the challenge of a Hook Only design! If you are, check out my YouTube Channel, feelinspiffy, or right here! 

Beautiful! :)

Happy Taco!

Arriba!! A fantastic Happy Taco! I love how it turned out! I know the shape in the middle might not be perfect, especially if you don't go back and stretch them out, but I am very pleased with it overall.

Using the techinques I learned while making the Happy Ice Cream Sandwich I was able to make this taco with a nice shell and filling divide! Kids seem to love it....and adults too! :)

Enjoy! :)

Happy Chicken Leg!

I think this turned out super cute! I was really happy with the shaping of it. Nice meaty head and super cute bone! Impressed! lol

This was definitely another one that was asked for frequently ever since I started to make the "unhealthy foods." I'm in love! I think it's an easier design so that's awesome for those that aren't quite as experienced....though there is a bit of reducing and increasing. 

You'll have to let me know what you think! :)

Happy Hamburger!

Woo Hoo! This turned out better than I could have though it! I made so many of these to try and find the right combination of cute and banding to get it right! 

And I would say I nailed it! It goes perfect with the other Happy Foods, particularly the fries! 

Seriously, I made so many and some were seriously riduculous, lol. Like 6 inches tall or they looked like they had some serious issues, lol. Thank goodness the banding just worked out after all the trials!

Totally adorable! :)

Happy Eggplant!

The Happy Eggplant, or Aubergine, as I found out after I posted turned out super cute I think. I love how I exaggerated the top just a bit to be more dramatic, just adds a little something. 

This design was a bit harder because there wasn't a lot of shape to work with from the actual fruit...just long and fatter at one end. I still think it turned out great, think I just wanted to be able to do a little more than I had.

Adorable! :)

Happy Radish!

I think this turned out super cute! Love the leaves and I think I nailed the shape too! I wish I would have given it a white tip at the end, but oh well, still cute! 

I did get asked if this was just my Happy Beet banding though, lol. I will say here and everywhere else, I will never do the exact same banding on something, but give it a color change just to throw views up on my channel. I don't need to do that at all. Each piece I make is original and unique and I am super proud of that!

Happy Ice Cream Sandwich

So, Rob, over at Justin's Toys is a fan of my Happy Foods, which I think is amazeballs! (they actually added that word to the dictionary!)

He has made a few of them and been awesome enough to promote my channel at times through his instagram page and YouTube due to my Happy Foods.

In a band review video he did....at the very end....he whispers that feelinspiffy (that's ME!) should make a Happy Ice Cream Sandwich! How cool! 

Of course, I'm getting comments left and right letting me know that he asked for me to make him one. So I came up with this one. I thought I did a fantastic job, not to toot my own horn, lol.

The banding to get the nice separation of colors was pretty cool and besides the fact that I would have made if a few more rows longer to look more realistic, I think it was spot on! I was too worried about the band count and disappointing too many kids if I kept letting it creep up there.

Yummy! :)
