Square Swap (For Crochet/Knitting)

Linus · 04-14-2010, 02:15 PM

LOL.. well, it was taking me about a day or two to do one square (I'd look at it, realize it was uneven, unravel it and try again). Thankfully, K felt pity for me and helped me out with some.

I did try very hard. They are mostly straight...

Not to worry, darlin! The beauty of knitting and crochet is that they are sooo forgiving--being stitched into an afghan will likely correct any inconsistencies in the various squares.

Jusy fyi when you're making projects for yourself, if a square is really crooked, it can always be blocked, also. You wet it, smooth it to the proper size and shape, and pin it down, then let it dry. Solves all KINDS of problems!
