Granny Square Hacks

I’ve seen these binder rings used for several different ideas in regards to granny squares. The first idea is to crochet little samples of yarn you have, attach them to the rings, and carry the samples with you when heading over the craft store. That way you’ll always know what you have and can match it or find complimentary colors. The second idea is to use the rings to store granny squares when you’re working on a blanket. Instead of counting (and recounting, and re-recounting) your squares, simply organize the squares in groups of 10 or 20 per ring (depending on the size). That way you’ll know at a glance how many you have!
