#crochet squares

[bismutharts]

my celestial squares vest can be put on! look at me making wearables!

i've got quite a bit to go still, here you can see my progress vs what i've done

if you think woah bis! that's a lot of ends you still gotta weave in! you don't know the half of it. i've woven in a lot of ends already! it's just that every. single. square. produces 8 ends! EIGHT. aaaand there's 30 to 38 squares in this project so that's 240-304 ends before even talking about trims and fastenings

i'm sacrificing so much for cool colours

look at this corner join though! i'm so proud of myself :)

if you want to see other posts about this project on my blog, i believe they're all on the #celestial squares tag ! also :) i appreciate likes, reblogs and comments

Beginner

Intermediate

Advanced

Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)

It grew! I’ve now run out of black though, so this’ll go into hibernation until I go to the yarnextravaganza happening at my local on the 30th.

The collection so far.

the joining has begun...

for anyone who doesn't yet know what i'm making: this is the plan! i should maybe make a new sketch that's prettier for showing folks. hm.

i'm using this fancy joining method that has you join the squares as you crochet them. which is a little scary as it's a PAIN to undo if i make any mistakes. luckily i'm not going for a repeating pattern with the motifs

does make the space between the squares basically zero which is wanted

I am going to make this a separate post, since the other one got so long.

So, like I mentioned there, I sent my grandma's granny squares off to my Loose Ends "finisher" with the intent of giving my mother the blanket when it was complete. I had NO thoughts in my head at all for saving something for myself.

When I received the box in August with the completed blanket, it had two additional things in it. It had a letter and a bag. The bag had two and a half skeins of left over yarn (please peep the picture of all they yarn I sent this lady, I was SO surprised she was able to use so much of it!) my grandmother's crochet hook, and a single granny square. In the letter, my finisher, Katherine, wrote that she set aside one of the original squares my grandma made--she specifically said the one she guessed may have been one of the first--in order to put it in a central place in the finished blanket. But then she forgot about it when she went to put the blank together, so now there was one left over. She said she sent it along with the blanket, hoping it would still find a home.

So, like I said in my last post, I gathered up the blanket and brought it to my mom....but I kept that lone granny square for myself. I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it:

I bought this little shadow box on Amazon, pinned in the granny square, and added my grandma's hook. I plan on hanging it in my little crafting zone in my apartment ❤️

Just another reason why the Loose Ends Project has my heart in a chokehold. There was so much thought and kindness that went into what Katherine did--for both me and my mom.

I was so enamoured with this blanket that I decided to make my own version with yarn I dyed myself. I actually added a fifth colour later on which is the dark navy you see in the granny squares. This is also inspiring me to recreate an updated version of my celestial themed 90's childhood/teenage bedroom.

A few more pieces of my greyscale blanket. Some more of the granny stitch, hearts, crescent moons, and I even kind of made up my own version of a skull square! <|:^D
