The first time i learned how to make granny squares, i couldn't make the magic ring well, and then later the squares didn't turn out like real squares. It turns out i was using the wrong yarn weight, and yarn type and granny squares look amazing when you change the yarn color. Two months later i made my first granny square throw.
