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

Crocheter: Marun Crochet

[arinrowan]

My maternal grandmother could crochet.

Nothing complicated. Basic granny squares and double crochet, but she was the one in the family who made blankets for her kids and grandchildren. Dementia hit in her nineties but she still remembered how to make granny squares and made dozens. I asked her for one last blanket but by that point the dementia had taken how to join the squares. They were stacked in piles around the dining room table and when she went into care, into a plastic box for storage.

When she died, I asked for them. By that point I could crochet but didn't know how to join, and figured, someday, I'd learn.

It's at least a decade later. I'm the one who makes blankets for my nephews, for my cousin's children, for pregnant coworkers. Last year I made seven blankets, three for Project Linus, the rest for family and a friend. I can follow crochet charts, filet crochet, do clusters, fans, basic lace, amigurumi.

The world, as is its wont, is on fire. Tonight, I have opened the plastic container for the first time in a decade. I'm sorting them into piles by color. I know now how to look at them and see where her memory slipped or areas I'll need to repair. There's no printed pattern but if I need more I have the skills to copy the pattern.

Each square is 5 inches. Blanket size for Project Linus is 40x60. I'll see how many people I can give her last crochet legacy to.

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 :)

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

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.
