GAUGE MATTERS

A TOWEL-SPRAY BOTTLE OF WATER-BOX OF PINS

As I pin and pin AND PIN, I have to keep saying to myself “GAUGE MATTERS” even as my fingers cry out STOP!

Okay, okay, blocking is not really so bad. Once you have done this vital step, you will know a lot more about your personal tension to details.

Blocking thread projects is a good idea because it opens up the beauty of your crochet work, straightening lines into squares to reveal the finished project beautiful symmetry.

You’ve worked hard to get here, do your blocking like a good crocheter!

So, I say “JUST DO IT”, you will be glad you did.

4th of July Weekend Project

Sometimes I work on multiple projects at one time and right now probably too many! Grabbed my favorite shopping bag and stuffed this on-going baby-blanket-in-progress into it and went to visit friends. We didn’t plan on visiting folks this weekend as we don’t like traveling on the road on holidays, but hubby said “come on let’s go!” That’s the beauty of crochet, throw it in with your stuff, suitcase whatever, your hands don’t have to be idle! Have a safe and happy Holiday no matter what you decide to do.
