Article: A granny square is made up of clusters of double crochet stitches and chain stitches. It is crocheted in rounds rather than rows. Blankets and many other items can be made up of small granny squares stitched together. However, it's very easy to make a blanket that is essentially one big granny square. The second round builds and expands on your foundation round. Slip stitch across the top of the first three stitches until you reach your first corner. Working your stitches into the corner, ch 3. Then 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. You're now at one of the sides of the granny square. Ch 2 to "bridge" over those stitches. In the next corner, work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). Ch 2 again, and continue around until you reach your starting point. Join with a slip stitch in the top of your turning chain. Repeat the third round over and over again until your blanket reaches the size you like. To finish, you can add a simple border, end off and weave in the ends. To make a simple border, ch 1 and insert your hook into the corner of your fabric. Make 3 sc into the corner. Sc all along the edge of your fabric until you reach the next corner, make 3 sc in the corner and continue around in this fashion until you reach your starting point. You can add another row of border in the same manner if you wish. To end off, ch 1 and make a big loop with the yarn. Slip the hook out of the loop and cut your yarn, leaving a long tail. Pull the end of the yarn through the loop and tighten to make a knot. To weave in the ends of the yarn, hold your fabric with the back side facing you. Thread the end of the yarn through a tapestry needle. Insert the needle through the bottom of several stitches (about two inches). Skip the last half of the last stitch, then weave the needle back through the same stitches for about an inch. Pull the yarn through, and clip the end of the yarn close to the fabric.

Article: An exit code permits you to dial out of your country and is a necessary part of any international phone call, no matter which country you end up dialing. Before dialing specific digits to connect you to your UK contact, you will need to dial the exit code specific to the country you are dialing out of. There is no single exit code that works with every country. You will need to find out the specific exit code to use for your country. Note, however, that some countries do share exit codes with others. The exit code is always dialed first. As such, the basic format to use is: EC-xx-xxxxxxxxxx, with "EC" standing for "exit code." Example: The exit for the United States is "011." When dialing the UK from the US, you would begin by dialing 011-xx-xxxxxxxxxx. The country code for the entire United Kingdom is "44." Dial this immediately after your exit code in order to direct the phone call to the UK. Note that this country code is shared by all countries within the UK. Example: When dialing from the US, begin with 011-44-xxxxxxxxxx. In order to reach a land line in the UK, you will need to know which geographic region that land line exists in. This region will determine the correct area code to dial. Area codes can vary in length from two to five digits. The correct format for dialing to a country in the UK is EC-44-AC-xxxxxxxx, with "AC" standing for "area code." Note, however, that if you need to dial a mobile phone, you will dial a mobile code instead of an area code. You will need to inquire about the correct mobile code when acquiring the phone number, but most mobile codes are four digits long and begin with the number 7. That 7 is usually followed by a 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. The rest of the phone number is simply the subscriber's personal phone number. Dial it as you would dial any local subscriber's number to complete the phone call. The personal phone number for a land line is usually 10 digits long, not including the area code. The personal phone number for a mobile phone is usually 10 digits long, including the mobile code.
