Squares and the moral of the story....
Labels: squares 1 commentsHere are two squares I made using free patterns I found on the web....my intention was to post the links for the patterns as I post my pictures online but I see now that of the two free patterns which I printed a long while back, only one of them is still available online, but you have to email the lady to ask for it now.
This first square I used a pattern called MaryEllen's Easy Daisy Granny Square. This is one of my favorite square patterns because it is so pretty but yet very, very simple to make....You can go to this web page where she states that you can email her to request the pattern....

This isn't a very good picture and because of the yarn I used, you can't really see the detail of the stitches. I used a pattern called Granny a la Harper for this square which was a free pattern online, however, now I see that the url is dead that I got this from. 
The moral of the story? Print or save free patterns as a pdf document...if its something you really want to keep because there's no guarantee it will be there forever. I use CutePDF - Create PDF for free, Free PDF Utilities, Edit PDF easily;. to save patterns from web pages as documents on my computer. If you haven't discovered this yet, it saves you tons of time instead of having to copy/paste patterns into word like I used to do! :)

I have an afghan question for you. I have the book 200 crochet blocks. I would like to start making some. I think you told me this before, but what size is the finished square with the tan trim and what size hook and yarn did you use? Thanks a bunch! (oh, yeah, one more thing...did you block each square?) Just email me.
