Neave,
Absolutely agree! It's why I cherish my friends...because they're good people...I think of many of them as family.

Karen,
Welcome!
I'm not positive I'm understanding your question, but I'll try to answer what I think you're asking. I believe you're saying you want to graph something in a size that would work as a pillowcase, rather than as a blanket.
The fact is that the size your pattern turns out is entirely up to you; the freePatternWizard doesn't actually know the difference of whether you want a pillowcase or an afghan or just a picture. If you make a swatch and figure out the number of stitches per inch, you can set the width you want your pattern to turn out (e.g., number of stitches). The only issue you may have is with the number of rows, as the freePatternWizard does that automatically, because that keeps your pattern from distorting. However, you can fudge it by adding borders at either the top and bottom or the sides of your image, which will help make the length or the width greater, depending on your desired result.
Hope I've answered your question.
Sherry,
I understand...for me it's 50/50...because I hate hot and cold.
LOL, well, send your grandson along, then!

Greg,
Welcome!
That's
wonderful how you learned to crochet from your youngest daughter -
how kind of her to teach you. And kudos for making granny square
blankets! They're so versatile and can be fantastic for scrap
projects or just plain mindless crochet, when you want to let your
mind wander (or watch TV, lol), while keeping your hands
busy.
It's so fascinating how seeing the
granny square diagram helped you! My thought is that perhaps your
brain deals better with crochet diagrams rather than written
patterns. And if you ever want to branch out beyond the granny,
there are granny square variations (unfortunately, not all
designers chart them) to keep you busy. There's a sunburst, a
hexagon (still using the granny stitch) and there are solid
"grannies" (some of those aren't really grannies anymore, but
they're still called grannies, lol, no idea why).
And if you prefer conventional grannies to variations,
there's always the option for continuing to make granny square
blankets, which no doubt will be treasured by your family members
and friends for years!
