Granny, Oh granny how do I love thee?

So with much determination, and a wee bit of time wasted strolling around the blogesphere, I found a really great tutorial on how to make a granny square. I would like to say that I was right, and they have eluded me all this time because they are incredibly difficult, however, that is just not the case. Once I got past the idea that I will ever understand crochet lingo, I was able to just read this wonderful womans step-by-step (just right for dummies) directions and follow along. (I will forewarn you - these directions are in  UK terms, which is not really that big of a deal you just have to figure out the difference in the names of the stitches.)  It's really not hard! I know, I couldn't believe it! The hardest part is the first round and then you're off to the races.
Now I just need to find a way to make a trip to the yarn store fit into the budget. The fun of granny squares is all the different colors. You can use any type of yarn: cotton, acryllic, wool. But you must use all the same type and weight once you choose. That is where it falls apart for me. My yarn stash is a hodgepodge of fibers, wieghts, and such. So a trip for new is imperitive you see?
