Granny Failure

I am stumped! I have watched countless YouTube videos on making Granny Squares and this is the best (worst?) I can do. The first became more of a cap- I got some Facebook advice-too many branches from the center. There should be only 4 sides.

OK, second attempt- well, sort of. . . but not really. In fact, it's a mess. One of my FB friends actually clicked on 'LIKE". . . really? Boy, she must have some low standards (LOL). She's really sweet so I know she was just being encouraging.

The third try was a bit better after another Facebook friend directed me to a tutorial that goes r. e .a. l. l. y. s .l .o. w. Right up my alley! Still, no cigar. I find I lose my place as I attempt to watch the video while I crochet.

My sister in law knows how to make these. She'll have to step in and give me a few lessons. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
