Granny squares are the perfect way to use up those short lengths of leftover handspun! They're ideal for mixing colors and textures, and the more random the colors, the better they look. Whether your scraps are neutral, colorful, wildly mismatched, or beautifully coordinated, they can all come together to create something unique. Rachel hopes you'll enjoy creating your own bag that showcases your skills and makes the most of your stash.
