In honor of the upcoming fifth anniversary of the attacks on September 11th, 2001; I designed this square.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v63/scapegrace/th_911004.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v63/scapegrace/911004.jpg) and back.

(Images are clickable to enlarge).

I also made up a page on which is posted the graph to use as well as descriptions on stitching overtop to create the design.
This is the link....
http://www.geocities.com/quibblerscribbler/911_granny_square_afghan.html

I made it using a size H afghan hook. It turned out 9 X 8 inches even though it's 28 stitches high and wide. The tunisian stitch is taller than it is wide. I think if you single crochet stitched this, it should be a perfect square.

Once the square is completed, you stitch the details on.

It doesn't take very long to make, (this is what I did while Crochetville was down), and I hope some of you out there will make it too.

Please share the link with your friends.

We really must never forget.

Oh! I was so surprised to see this back at the top today! :)

I'm glad you-all like it! :yay

I made my square into a small bag. I posted it in another thread last year with my other flag bags but I can post it here too since that was a while ago.

Here's the bag, front and back...

The back has a U.S. Betsy Ross flag on it. (Images are clickable for enlargement).
