The Art of Crochet - Square Twenty Eight

The Art of Crochet Throw Square 28

Square title: Two-Color Diagonal Square Red Currant and Lavender

General Pattern: Trebles done with two colors in a diagonal on a square.

My thoughts and views on this square and/or the experience of crocheting it:

Less than two hours to do. It's a fast and easy square. It's a tv square, I mean a square that I can work on while watching tv.

Square title: Half Treble Square with 'S' Shapes

General Pattern: A square of half trebles with four S shapes

My thoughts and views on this square and/or the experience of crocheting it:

It's done. That it. Done. The square itself was fine. The S shapes since they were chain stitch was evil. I ended up doing just chains and sewing them on.

The Art of Crochet - Square Twenty Six

The Art of Crochet Throw Square 26

All crochet terms are expressed in UK terminology
 
Square title: Treble Square with Cross Stitch Block

General Pattern: pretty much the title is the pattern. It's a 22 stitch x 12 row square (at least by my tension) with three cross stitch x's on stitches in the center of rows 5-7.

My thoughts and views on this square and/or the experience of crocheting it:
Boring, boring, boring. I'm beginning to see that the treble stitch is the basic bread and butter stitch for crochet. I got it okay can we please have different patterns? As tedious as the granny squares are to do at least they are fast.

Next week I've got chain stitching on a square to look forward to!

Should have just done color work. for the cross stitching.

I'm going to double check my other treble squares to see if the row count is the same.

Oh well I've got three new block a month squares to do now. Yay!
