If you’re a crocheter of almost any skill level, chances are you have a few (or a few dozen) granny squares laying around. Our friend Carolyn at Carolyn’s Homework is learning how to crochet, and she too is discovering the addictive, colorful little patchwork tiles. Inspired by a granny square birdhouse that she spotted at Anthropologie (with an Anthro-typical price tag of $58), she fashioned a few of her squares into her own version. The Anthro birdhouse is made from recycled and repurposed materials; the DIY version is excellent for using up scraps! [how to make a granny square birdhouse]
