Hoping I get better at these squares by the time I'm done with the project:
A #crochet #wip for two years: #beehive throw requested by a family member.
I have a real love / hate relationship with #GrannySquares and that is why this has sat in my "To Do" bin unassembled.
All that is left is to crochet a few bees and attach. But, that will have to wait until Gracie's nap is over.
Bookish crochet
One of my favourite crochet things to do is a granny square, I thing they are really versatile. They are quick to make, and then you can joined them together in what form you want. One can make a cover for a mobile phone, using a thicker yarn we can make a cover for a tablet, or a paper book cover.
But sometimes, at the end of the day, one is a little bit tired to follow a more complex pattern, so recently I try a more simple approach: making a chain with the wanted size, and then making double crochets on the back loop of the previous row, which gives it some texture.
I’ve tried fingerless gloves, a sleeve for an ereader, and a sleeve for books or notebooks to which I added a pocket. And it’s really simple: you just need to know how to make a chain, a double crochet, and a simple crochet (to join it).
Having a blast making this. Idk what it is about primary colors that just scratches the best parts of my brain. The world is really scary right now but don’t let that keep you from taking time for yourself and doing things that make you happy. #crochet #fiberarts #primarycolours #selfcare #hobby #crafting #grannysquares
I think it’s finished. I may put one final row of half double crochet to make sure everything is all nice and contained around the outside. Either way I’ve already started something else I’ll share later. I should probably do some house work but jds hard to make myself perform mundane tasks these past few weeks for what I feel are obvious reasons that I won’t harp on about here. #crochet #color #crafts #fiberarts #grannysquares #hobby #escapism
Acabé mi bandolera de #grannysquares para el taller de #crochet. La correa también la he hecho yo (y le he cosido cremallera)
Spending my Sunday putting together a granny square project a couple of years in the making. I planted some seeds in a starter tray this weekend as well. I gotta say trying to focus on small and productive tasks instead of the big things I can’t control has made for a pretty peaceful weekend. #crochet #grannysquares #blanket #gardening #hobby #crafts #colorful #cozy
