Who am I?
I'm Shelley - serious supporter of making granny square crochet easy and enjoyable.Â
Since teaching myself to crochet in 2012, I’ve designed over 400 granny squares, published 11 books, and taught all over Australia. Along the way, I’ve met so many wonderful makers who share my love of crochet, and it’s been the greatest joy to watch people grow their skills and confidence with a hook in hand.
Granny squares have become my job and I love it — but more than that, they’ve become my way of building community and helping others find joy in making.
Â
Granny Square Academy
I love nothing more than teaching granny square crochet, and my Granny Square Academy courses are designed to take you step by step through the journey. Both Granny Square Academy 1 and Granny Square Academy 2 are available right now — each with the option of an online course and/or book.
Whether you’re building your foundation or ready to push your skills further, these courses will guide you with clarity, support, and plenty of granny square fun.
Cross Purposes Online
Looking for something beyond the same old crochet-along routine? Cross Purposes is a bold, modern take on granny squares — guiding you step by step to create the Cross Purposes blanket. With one versatile square, you can follow a ready-made plan or design your own project, supported by clear tutorials and a welcoming community.
Crochet is Better Together
Â
Granny Square Circle has two spaces where you can make yourself at home. The free Granny Square Circle community, is open to anyone who wants to share progress, ask questions, and connect with fellow makers.
Granny Square Circle+ is where everything I love about teaching and designing comes together in one place. With a subscription, you’ll get access to my stitch and technique library (with brand-new videos), a rotating project library from small to large, the Cross Purposes Online course, and a private Circle+ community — complete with crochet-alongs, live catch-ups, and plenty of ways to connect.
