I realized I never continued the saga of the pink Sophie’s Universe square. It was supposed to be an afghan for Maisie, but I kinda got carried away making squares and it turned out too big for her.
Much larger than I anticipated! Arranging squares is always tricky. My mom helped me with this. She’s made a lot of afghans herself and is a pro at making sure colors are distributed equally.
Here’s maisie test driving the square. She’s not so happy that this blanket isn’t for her I guess. 😉
Anyway, it was time to join all the squares, which is both exciting and extremely obnoxious.
I went with a single crochet through back loops only. Some of the yarn is pretty splitty , which made it tricky, but this gave the result I was after.
Pile of squares waiting to be joined.
I had to carry them downstairs somehow, and my mom and I giggled over how this looks like a dumpling or something.
I just figured out how to post from my phone, so this is a trial run. Yes, I’ve been blogging since 2013 and I only just figured out the app. Anyway, I’ll conclude the Sophie’s Universe adventure soon. Thanks so much for your kind words on the dinosaur pencil case!
It looks beautiful Claire! I can’t wait to see all the squares joined together. Don’t worry, I haven’t figured out the app either 😀 I just blog from a computer. Aw, don’t be sad Maisie! This just means your mum will have to make another one for you. Oh, it’ll be so tough! 😀
Thank you so much! Yeah, I’m a much bigger fan of blogging from the computer. The keyboard is WAY more user-friendly, for starters! Hmm, I guess I could be persuaded to make another blanket for Maisie… 🙂
