the book says I should have a square but I have a circle 
It can sometimes look circular for the first coupl of rounds.

Not very well.  My crochet books still haven't arrived and I'm finding the tutorials on YT really hard to follow.  Can't wait for them to get here.  Haven't also had that much free time as I've been working late this week and had a lot on.  Can't wait to master the granny square though!  Good job on yours though!   :buttrf:  It looks great!!! 
My book just came and im trying to get the granny square but i have unravalled it 5 times already lol  :mwaha:

Mine arrived yesterday!  I've remastered the chain stitch which it turns out I had been doing all wrong!!!!!

I learned years ago, but am right handed.  Glad to hear you didn't give up... congratulations!  My sister, who lives about 6 hours from me, gave me some eyelash yarn that she purchased to make a scarf.  She never could figure out how to do it and gave up, so I made her the scarf on our drive home and gave it to her the next time I saw her. 

Can't wait to see pics of you granny square  Popcorn Popcorn

EJ thanks for that.  I was using US terminology.  Who would have thought there would be differences in the terms in crochet of all things Shocked

Lisa yay!!!  Sorry for the confusion of terms.....  Embarrassed

I have my book and needle and wool with me today to give it a real shot.  I have hardly any time to scratch myself these days!  Hopefully from today I'll be able to practice and wil have made a granny sq by Monday.
