Thanks to YAM for fueling my urge to crochet Today I have 2 news squares
It has been several weeks since my last post on Saturday Stitches.
This is what I wrote.
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. Thanks to YAM Aunty's cleverly made YouTube Video

She showed us how to link crochet stitches to make them more secure....
I call the video TROUBLED TREBLEs stitches Over the POND to Me.

I admit to going a bit rogue with your instructions. *My 7' square is one row of treble,
one row of single crochet. I'm happy...
Recaps on rows one and two
First row are l-r single, double and half double crochet
Second row 2 are l-r granny square and bushy stitch
Third row are new squares
#1 NEW and improved Treble as described above* THANK YOU YAM
I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT LINKING STITCHES or in my case mixing them.
#2. the troubled Treble that made me unhappy too loose. I won't use this one when I assemble the Afghan.
#3. Is Front and Back loop half Crochets. This one is fun to to just like the Bushy Stitch
V Stitch
just finished this yesterday

You might recognize the stacked wood on the left under the Ale House sign, from several weeks ago.
As the sign read, they have a wood fired oven
The crochet looks lovely. I am glad that Yam was able to give you advice. That looks a nice place to go for food and a drink.
ReplyDeleteI used to do a lot of crochet work, but those stitches Yam showed us all were knew to me. I might give it a try some day...but not in hot summer time weather!
ReplyDeleteYour squares look amazing!

ReplyDeleteOOoooh, Miss C, your square collection is growing and looking fab!!! Don't give up entirely on the simple treble stitch, though - it definitely has its uses! YAM xx
Your squares are looking great! I've had pizza from a wood-fired oven and the pizza has a wonderful smoky taste to it!
ReplyDeleteToo hot to think about Wood Fired ovens at the moment. Good food or not. Your squares are coming along great. I agree about the treble, it's a very loose Stitch and there's only a few things that it can be fun in.
ReplyDeleteGotta love bloggers and blog land. There's always someone who can help with a problem. Your blocks look great. Years ago, I crocheted an entire blanket using only the V stitch. I still have it but it mostly just sits folded in a closet.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your friend helped you out. Love them.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing well with your crochet square creation.
ReplyDeleteI just came from Yams post today, my eyes are crossed and I am confused but I did love seeing all the photos and did read a bout a third of what she said, like written in Greek to me since I do not own a hook. I love bloggers, always sharing our knowledge and learning new things... your sqares are looking great, I like the newest one a lot
ReplyDeleteLooking good!!!
ReplyDeleteC, I know nada about crocheting which I mentioned before. First time I read I was lost then read two more times about rows 1 and 2. I got it! Row 3 new squares... got it! I like the V stitch. Then I got lost again! They are all lovely. The stitches have their own personalities as do the squares. I knew this was going to be fun and interesting.
ReplyDeleteHmm... a wood fired pizza :) A Harris Teeter Margarita pizza!
Your squares are beautiful. You are correct about the treble stitch. Aunty. Yam's linky stitch is a good solution but it does make the process a little longer. I am glad my two blankets for the twins are done so I can take a break. But I will start something else in the fall.
ReplyDeletePretty squares O-Talented-One! Wood fired sounds good to me.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. XO
ReplyDeleteYour crochet is really coming along! I did it years ago, but would have to start over from, dare I say it, square one (!) if I wanted to learn again.
ReplyDeleteThey look great to me
ReplyDeleteLove all your crochet work! You're becoming the QUEEN of CROCHET!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam (and Teddy too)
Oh love the new crocheted square ~ so creative ~ hugs,
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Cecilia and Angel Madi ~ xo
Wishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,
