Hello my fellow needle workers, I hope you all see me doing well. I had a pretty long day but this is the calming part of the day soooooooooo here we go people!!!
Today's project is not for a client buh inspired by @kattycrochet she made a post weeks ago or months ago. I'm not so sure but it was a square like this. I found it really unique because I’ve never done anything like that. Immediately I saw it I rushed to katty’s comments and brags about how I would try out the pattern very soon.
Well this is several weeks or months after and here we are. I didn’t stay away from trying this on purpose though. Just hear me out yeah, I had a huge pile of work to deliver that whole time (November to March beginning)was so time consuming that I could not add my personal projects (no matter how small), but right now I am free (well I pray it stays this way for a while) and I am ready to try out all the unique patterns I have seen in this community and I’ll tag everyone that inspired it.
Making this square was not as complicated as I thought it would be. I mean everyone thinks a particular pattern or design is complicated till they actually try it out by themselves.
First thing is that this was really fun to make because I am a square’s girlie and making new patterns (for me though) is just exciting and thrilling like getting butterflies in your belly when you get ice cream.
And for the second thing I had to be very conscious of the number of chains I made so it wouldn't stretch too much or shrink too much in between the different rows I was making. I was literally dancing in my shoes when I finished the first row of chains and it came out like her own.
Third thing was picking the color. This was very funny because of how indecisive I was. I had tarn of different colors and didn’t know what to pick. I did want to use same lilac she used at some point but I wanted it to look different so I picked this color. Not so different buh still blended.
At the end of making this I felt so happy. Because getting a particular pattern right on the first try is something to be proud about. When I finished up this square I went on to take pictures of it because why not.
Honestly Katty has really inspired me to want to try out a whole lot of patterns and I will definitely do a series about making all the patterns inspired by my fellow needle workers here.
This didn’t take a lot of time and frankly that was good. See you in the next blog post. Byeeeee
