Crochet Squares

Yesterday my niece taught me how to make squares, and I'm proud to say that I picked it up quite quickly. My first one took several attempts and came out wonky as I mis-counted my stitches.


The ones I did today, I'm really very proud of. They aren't perfect, but they are squares! I really enjoy making them as they are so quick. I tend to get disheartened when a project takes a long time to finish or requires me to do the same thing for a long time (the reason my scarf is sitting unfinished in the yarn box, along with the knitted blanket I started a few months ago). These get done and look pretty nice and quickly.



I took one to do on the bus to pick up my daughter from school today. I am aware I must have looked a bit odd, baby strapped to me in her wrap and fiddling yarn in my hands, but it passed the time nicely, so I think I will continue to make squares on the bus from now on.

    It's really worth doing. It is tricky and frustrating at first but then it sort of 'clicks' and it's great fun :)

    Thank you! It is so wonderful to hear that you feel inspired. I hope you manage to make some lovely things.

    I would love to try my hand at sewing too. Perhaps I will ask for a machine for my birthday.

    It's very relaxing, isn't it?
    I'm impressed that you managed three bedcovers. I have this terrible habit of starting projects but never finishing them!
