susandennisGranny Squares. After the completion of every bear, there will be a granny square. I'm starting with this book - Just Plain Fun JPF Crochet Club Granny Square Collection - on my Kindle that I borrowed for free. Thank you Amazon Prime. I'm going to do all these squares in order. I'm not at all sure now what I will do with the squares. I will bind them together with black so they look stained glassie. Maybe a blanket, maybe a jacket, maybe a...
I finished off a bear today so I got started.
The first one - far left - I used the wrong stitch. I used a triple crochet stitch instead of double. The middle one, I used the right stitch and dropped the hook size down considerably. The far right, I think is the Goldilocks version... the right stitch with the right sized hook. (H, by the way, for those who might care)
The Mariners won again... It's been many many many years since they have had this kind of record in July. Amazing. And, kind of fun. Plus, last winter they paid an enormous amount to get a guy from the Yankees. Everyone, me included, thought it was a bonehead move. The guy is not spring chicken. But goddamn can he play baseball. He's having a banner year and has proven to be worth his millions in game play and team membership. I do NOT mind being wrong about the Mariners. Not at all.

Re: Ask a stupid question...
Date: 2014-07-02 09:58 pm (UTC)I used to have a friend who did a lot of work with wood and he always said it was sooo unfair that once he cut, his wood was committed and I could use the same yarn to knit and reknit and reknit forever.
The orange and burnt orange squares in this picture will be 'melted down' or unraveled and the yarn used to make the proper size.
And in the WAY MORE ANSWER than you bargained for or likely wanted department... ripping out of yarn is called frogging your work. This is because in your mind as you unravel you think rip it, rip it, rip it... hahahah isn't knitting humor hilarious??!!!
