Hooks, Books & Me

Hello yarnians, welcome again..!! We have already completed three squares in our series and today I am going to publish fourth one, “Lilliandil”.  When I first announced that I will be publishing 9 Granny Squares every 15 days, I was little skeptical whether I would be able to design and write the pattern within stipulated time but I think once you decide and start acting on it, things somehow fall into their places & here I am releasing pattern for fourth square..!!
