After my first crochet class, I came home and cast on (hooked on?) for more granny squares. I don't normally buy acrylic yarn, but this seemed like the right yarn for this sort of project. I added the pink, green and turquoise to my stash, plus worked in some scraps from other projects.
My class gave me enough information to be able to go away and figure out some other techniques for myself. For example, I figured out the joining method, with help from the internets, and joined these using a slip stitch on the right side. I would like to try this in a contrast yarn some time. The edging scallop is made from a set of single and double stitches: single, 3x double, single.
My squares are a bit uneven, I guess my tension is off, plus some of the scraps are different weights. I'm not too bothered about the waviness, it's fine for a practice project and blocking is not going to work in acrylic.
I'm looking forward to using up many of my scraps in such a fun way.
