A few months later saw me in Ontario visiting my family. When my own Granny saw that I had mastered the Granny Square, she sat me down and showed me how to make the "Diagonal Box Stitch", also known as the "Corner to Corner" or C2C. This became my go-to stitch for large blankets and afghans.
In July of 2013, I had company at the house. A quite wonderful woman asked to see my work after learning that I was rather proficient in the "yarny arts". After viewing some of the afghans I had made, she asked me to make her a twin sized one, for which I would be well compensated. Below are the pictures from beginning to end!
