The Intrepid Yarn Lover

I may have mentioned once or twice before that I have some crafting ADHD. In the past year, my yarn-bending has come out full force (along with my pendant making, but that’s another post).

To keep tabs on myself because I’ve had several projects that are YEARS old now (seriously, like 7 years).

My big project this year, was also my big challenge for the year. I’d never taken on a project like this, and I wanted to go for it. I dove in, ordered the yarn and got myself started on the Hooked on Squares Crochet-Along.

Over the course of about six months I worked on 35 granny squares, bound them together and added on the suggested border.

It was very challenging. I had to redo a few squares because the sizing wasn’t working out to match the other squares.

I had to watch videos to understand stitches.

But I finished it, and I’m super proud.

But here’s the thing…it matches nothing in my house. I bought the colors to sort of go with the suggested colors…and because I thought they were pretty. I’d planned it all along as a challenge for myself, but now, I have to sell it. Well, I don’t HAVE to, but I am.
