one of the big squares that I did

[Jean Marie]

I put this square on a pillow we have. After I made the square I did the afghan stitch which made it stretchy.

for the square I used a size 'p' crochet hook.
the afghan stitch was done w/a long crochet hook.

Hi,
Thanks Shelley and Susan. Good Morning. When I made it I wasn't trying to crochet a pillow cover I was just crocheting a big square and then decided to crochet the afghan stitch which made it pull tighter and so I tried to make the afghan stitch a little looser and it still stretched and I just decided to put it on a pillow. It is a pretty square but not my favorite pattern. If you look at my post 'a flower square and other squares for exchange squares'(or something like that) you'll see a 6 inch square w/the same pattern.

I haven't corresponded in awhile and I have missed you. What have you been up to? I'm getting ready to start a new baby boy afghan for my upcoming grandnephew. I'm still at a generally low level of crocheting (in my opinion) but, I'm sure enjoying my friends that have followed me, like you, during my journey. You are a cutie pie! God Bless You Jean Marie, Scooters/Suzanne

Hi, Thank You Scooters. I'm crocheting some big squares. I told Doris(my Dad's companion) that she could have one so she picked one out and put it on the back of her chair and she really likes it and she said someone else said she liked it too. I wasn't sure what to do w/the big squares. I thought of making it into sweaters or maybe they could be used for table center pieces. I thought of maybe putting them together but one of them is round and maybe putting them in the mission box but what would they be? And Mandy suggested they could be used to put on the back of a couch. Doris thought they could be used for old peoples homes to put on their lap. I asked her if she meant lap blankets and she said she did. My Dad suggested I make baby blankets for hospitals then I would have a reason to crochet. I also have more 6 inch squares to make.

Jean Marie, Lap robes would be the perfect solution. I say, go for it! Scooters
