Marking place, so I can follow progress.

Any news on my knitters squares? :)

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 11/03/2012 14:19

Just popping in to catch up on the latest squares and say 'Hi' :)

I have loved the 'heart' chat - haven't had time to attempt it yet - but it's one of the ones I was considering doing. I might save it for when I have time to really concentrate!! (I have noted the link to the continued chat!! :) )

It sounds like you are getting lots in already Knotty - brilliant :)

GleamingHeels · 11/03/2012 15:10

Chipping no worries about not having tried the heart yet, Trib will have it sussed if you hang on a little bit and you might escape the double yo!

ChippingInNeedsCoffee · 11/03/2012 15:27

That would make it a Yo-Yo wouldn't it Grin

GleamingHeels · 11/03/2012 15:32

Chip ^yoyo Grin

Yes, the yo-yo is now a thing of the past! No more wine-defying double yarn overs on the Heart chat, I will wang a few rows of a pattern down there so people can see what I've done. It's not very clever. But then neither are double yarn overs followed by a purl through the back leg .

Ok do I'm still worried about the size of my soon to be square, i did tge right number of stitches to begin with but that only measures 5 in, is that ok or shall I start again?

Just catching up with PMs Thanks

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/03/2012 06:23

Quincy Your lovely crafter has asked for the address for posting, your joint squares are finished. Fabulous! Thanks

LovesBeing How far have you got into the square? The true size doesn't show until you have done several rows, but I'm not sure if this is the same square you were talking about ^^ up there?

Have replied to all PMs

Many thanks everyone, I will be back at lunchtime Thanks

KnottyLocks · 12/03/2012 07:10

Morning all Smile

LovesBeing, if it's a crochet square you could always stick a crochet edge around it. Or I'm happy to do that for you, if you like.

Knotty-wish I'd thought of this before posting squares, but just in case I make any more squares in cashmerino, if you get a moment, do you think you'd be able to tell me how many rows I did, please? Might help me plan my patterns better next time to stop at a sensible point Blush. Sorry to be a nuisance.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/03/2012 14:09

You got off lightly there Knotty, DH has only just come back to the country! Grin

GlaikitFizzog · 12/03/2012 15:07

I've just finished another square. This time I knitted on a diagonal, started with one stitch and added a stich on each row, then dropped a stitch each row until all done!! I had to use pythagoras and everything!!! :o It's a bit wobbly round the edges, but I think it should be ok once in place. I'll bow to Knottys superior knowledge on that though!

Knotty do you think my blue square will be ok? I have a whole ball of it left and was going to a stripy square next.

LovesBeingWearingSkinnyJeans · 12/03/2012 15:09

Yes it is tge same one.

Knotty that's a fab idea, I shall stop worrying Grin. I shall try myself but thank you for tge offer I'll let you know how I get on.

KnottyLocks · 12/03/2012 15:31

Mole, are your squares the ones tied with a white satin bow? I'll have a look.

Molehillmountain · 12/03/2012 17:48
