Saturday Stitches with YAM and Symmetry

Hosted by 

YAM Aunty click here to see her handwork

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 

HERE

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.

from YAM Aunty

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

Happy Tuesday Tale of two Dresses, PS from Cali

 

 We thank our Hostess Sandee at Comedy Plus   

Several years ago I bought 2 T shirt dresses the red (below) and a black and white striped both on sale at Walmart.  Both were a bit short for my age. My intention was to return them; however, during a recent merging and purging in my closet I discovered I still had them.  I engaged my creative sewing brain coming up with a plan to use them. The black and white striped one was a shift.  The red had the flared tiered skirt and pockets.  I cut off about 10" from the bottom of the black and white, hemmed it making a very comfy and cool top.  The bottom of the red dress was at least 2 times wider than the black and white.  I cut the black and white in half.  Then I cut each half  again giving me 4 pieces all the same width. I sewed the 4 pieces of black and white together, attached it to the bottom of the red dress.  I have a new cool top and a new summer dress.   I am happy with both of my creations.  The dress is very cool and comfy to walk in on hot days too 

   

PS  from yesterday's sneaky moves

Dear Auntie HiC & Friends,

Wow! I appreciate all the positive feedback on my stealth mode moves.  You’ve encouraged to practice my moves more on poor Kat & Rocky! 😹

Mom recently read 'Who's Kitten Who? by Cynthia Baxter. 

She gives it 5*****
The main character, Jessica Popper, is a Veterinarian and amateur sleuth.
At the beginning of each chapter there is a quote about animals.
Mom loves them all and will periodically share them with you all.
The book Mom read before this one was 'Deception Point" by Dan Brown all 700+
pages it was excellent too but she said it required lots of concentration. 'Who's Kitten Who'
was sweet, funny and gave her brain a rest.
