Granny Squares Are Great For Using Up Bits Of Stash!

Weaving In The Ends While Crocheting vs. Weaving In At The End?
While I can't share with you my progress in my latest crochet project, as it's a gift for Chanukah, I thought I'd share a little glimpse of what the back is looking like just about now, and multiply this by about ten, and you've got a sea of ends. Well, it could be worse, I've…
