Or, as my sister calls it, that thing old ladies used (notice the past tense) to put on top of the TV. So my new hobby is not just old, is double old! How awesome is that? Am I a hipster now?

Or maybe she just meant flat TVs have finally caught on in the grandmother market...

(Fun fact, this is also my first ever post. When I was on Reddit I didn't even made comments ever. It became kind of a rule I was moderately proud of. Yes, I was a proud lurker, it was like my personality so now I am not a lurker so maybe this means I have no personality any more. Fair trade off I guess?)

It's a good square: puff stitches aren't easy to get even.

I am now an old lady, but I've been crocheting since I was a kid. I have never put crochet on a TV, and now with flat screens I don't plan to!

(I do however have lap blankets on most surfaces that don't move.)

You don't strike me as an average old lady, however! Bet you could bring back fat-bottomed TVs if you wanted and cover it in granny squares and make it a new thing.

I think I'll leave it to others to start that fashion!
