STEP TWO

This is step two in my crochet journey.

I found the instructions on Attic24's tutorial.
Even managed to master the "bobble" stitch !


They were a bit "wonky" but I saw from several blogs that I must block them into shape by pinning them so this I did on my ironing board.


Thank goodness for all my blogland mates !



Now before I can crochet them together I need to do something with all those ends !!!!

Cheers.

  2. Your granny squares look fabulous. Sewing those ends in is such a chore. I always put it off.

  3. Helen, your squares are coming along brilliantly well done and you sound like you are really enjoying it! Sewing in the ends is always a pain - you need a good dvd, and a cup of coffee and cake - this will help immensely!! x

  5. You are doing great. I always find that when it comes time to sew in those little ends, it becomes a treasure as I know I'm near the end. I have tried the hook in as you go on the grannies, it's so worth the time sewing in, as the other way I find it is not as clean and then they tend to pop out later.

    Thanks for the update of the WIP,
    Kate

  8. Great work Helen. I hope you are enjoying your hooky time. I'm sure Tony will have come up with a special name for your "Granny time" with the hook
