Good point!

You can also make a shawl, totebag or whatever you want with
them. Care to join it some month?

Absolutely! When I'm a little quicker and know more than garter stitch
and ribbing. I want to make fancy squares!


It's the other way around: making squares is a good way to learn to
do more stitches than garter and ribbing. You aren't committed to a
huge project, nor to a pattern if it turns out to be tricky or if you
just don't like it. Colors can be any color you like, though it's
kind of nice if they coordinate so that when you have a bag full of
swatches, they make up into an afghan that looks planned.

Oh my, Nora! You're a busy busy lady! I love everything. Thanks for
sharing your album with me!

Hi Pam,

Yes, I either weave them or do a single crochet and yarn for putting
the squares together.

Here's my album so you can see what I've made with mine and other
things too.

Hugs,

Nora

If you want ideas for stitches for 6X6 squares, both Noreen and Monica
have posted some that I have used for mine. A search of the newsgroup
should turn them up - if that doesn't work for you, ask and someone
will help find them.

Great! I'll find it! Thanks!
