Flag Day is a holiday celebrated on June 14 in the United States. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777 by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.[1] The Flag Resolution stated "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."[2][3]
Thanks to YAM for fueling my urge to crochet Today I have 2 news squares

I also completed a 7" square of the treble stitches. I didn't enjoy the treble it was TROUBLE.
No problem doing it. Just the stitch is too loose. The square is flimsy and may or may not be shown here or used down the road.
*********************************
To refresh your memory here are the first squares
Left to right 3, 7" squares
The bushy stitch looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Flag Day!

ReplyDeleteMiss C, these are fun and sitchaliscious!
I skipped stitches today and put in a sounds video - but for next week I might do a little tutorial on how you can link the treble (double treble for UK readers) stitches to help stabilise the fabric... YAM xx
beautiful stitches and a lot of fun I am sure. I do know that triple can be bad, when here are 3 children playing, it is worse than if there are 2. learned that working in day care. you and yam are rocking this tutorial thing on stitching. I am still learning new pioneer women skills, and I can tell you that even though I know they could have done this, I will not even try. ha ha.
ReplyDeletePS.. forgot to say I love that vintage flag poster..
DeleteYou're crocheting looks just perfect. And what beautiful colors. I have no stores near me anywhere that sell beautiful yarn of any kind. I have to drive 50 miles north south east or west to get to Hobby Lobby which is all that Ohio has now. Thank you for the Patriotic reminder.
ReplyDeleteYour Flag Day poster with the history of Flag Day is a wonderful reminder of this day.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying your two new squares. Treble was trouble... Ha! It looks like there is a fix. Wishing you luck!
Love the vintage flag day poster! I give you a lot of credit for learning new stitches. It's not easy and can be so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteStars and stripes forever, long may she wave.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about it being flag day. Heck I don't know what day of the week it is most of the time anymore.
ReplyDeleteI like your granny squares. I really should pull out my crochet hooks and start doing this.
Those are a couple of nice looking squares. We like the flag day poster too.
ReplyDeleteLove the squares! Happy Flag Day!

Our front lawn is decorated with 14 American flags for Flag Day. It is the first time Mom has done it. But she has been so impressed by the main street through our development where about 10 homes do the same. She is a proud American who hopes some of the neighbors will do it too. Maybe for July 4th:)
ReplyDeleteLove the new stitches. Mom has never seen or tried the bushy stitch.

Oh Cecilia, it will be wonderful. lol... I think I have been working (or more like not working on a scarf) for 3 years now....
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little girl I loved doing those things.
ReplyDeleteA lovely illustration and Happy Flag Day! Pretty crochet squares. I look forward to seeing more :)
ReplyDeleteWell done! Treble is a toughie. XO
ReplyDeleteMay we be a people who live up to our flag.
ReplyDeleteYour crochet looks excellent. I used to know how but haven't had time to do it in years.
WE had a WET Flag Day here.......rained very hard and did the same in D.C. for the military parade unfortunately. Your crocheting is coming along beautifully! I think I mentioned my quilting sister is now crocheting too! I was never good at it myself unfortunately.
