The Wonder Granny

Our granny is Square of the Month is the Wonder Granny, my way to pay homage to the most amazing Wonder Woman. In her comics, TV shows, and recent (totally badass) Hollywood movies, she’s she has shown girls like myself that women can kick some serious butt.

This granny square would be great as a blanket for a warrior queen of any age.
