200 knitted blocks to mix and match Kal

[Aussie]

I got my book and I can start now which one to do, I know I made a list but not sure I want to do it that way now. Is everyone using certain colours or making scrappy squares.

[Aussie]

I quite like square 209, just need to sort some colours for it.

[Carousel]

:cheerFinished my double moss stitch square and really happy with the way it has turned out.

 

Not sure what square I will do next, will post some pictures on Friday.

That's great Roxy. Can't wait to see it.

 

Athba 63 squares sounds great. Like a sampler

 

Wendy Off to see what 209 looks like.

[Aussie]

Ok finally I have done my first square and it didnt take very long to do.

 

This is pattern 209 Little Waves.

Wendy, it is beautiful. You are whizzing through the squares.

 

I think I will be with Sherri and might only start in April if I can't finish off a few things soon.

[Carousel]

Very nice square Wendy.

[Aussie]

Thanks Ladies. I have another one done now. So far I have had no problem with sizing which is great. I will put up the photo tomorrow morning.

[krazy-kitty]

What do you think about putting a crochet edge around knitted squares?

 

I was thinking about doing it with some of mine, but not sure if it would look right, using a contrasting colour. Thought it might be easier and neater to join them.

[q8_crochet]

woooow wendy those are awsome

gr8 work

i think your hands are getting pretty well practicing on these squares and the LTA squares

[Aussie]

Athba thanks

 

Here is number 89 Plain and Fancy.

 

[tracysthings]

Wendy, that is pretty. Your pillows are going to look great.

 

Roxy, I was thinking of doing sc borders on the squares. Once I have decided which ones and what I am going to make.

[krazy-kitty]

I think I will block my squares first and see how they turn out, need to find a contrasting yarn to use for the border.

[krazy-kitty]

Having problems blocking my sqaures, can't get them to the right size, if I stretch them too much they will look naf, so have bloacked them the best I can, will leave them over night and have a look at them tomorrow.

wendy

woow very fancy i really like it

how long it takes you to make a square??

i`m haveing difficulty in knitting in a ACCEPTABLE speed looooool

[Aussie]

Athba it took me 2 nights to do those 3. Very nice patterns.

 

What number squares has everyone done so far.

[krazy-kitty]

I have completed another square, used RHSS in plumb pudding and the pattern was a mock rib stitch, happy with the way it turned out.

 

Need to re-do the crochet border on the sqaures as it's too tight, so gonna use a bigger hook.

 

Need to find some patterns in the book Iam happy with doing.

wendy

i`m too shy to say i`m half way through my first hehehe

but tonight i`ll stay at moms place and gonna make more knitting to see what progress i`ll make this night

i really don`t know how i`m gonna organize the colors of square because each color of a brand with diffrent amount of yarn of each

i`ll do the squares first then i`ll think of organizing them

[wiz3283]

As soon as I can get this book I will try to join you. I really need to get my knitting skills up to speed.
