I am so over crocheting scarves. It doesnât matter how long I am crocheting, I donât seem to be getting any closer to the number of 23, but I donât want to give up. Then I thought, what if I just worked a few granny squares together, and I can count that as one scarf done.
I have a bag full of granny squares. It took a few moments to get the right colors, the same yarn, and the right amount to make a scarf. The correct number is 20 if you wanted to know.
It was a good idea, until I remembered it takes a few to stitch each square together, and then I am going to have to crochet the border. I donât know what I was thinking. I have 11 done, and was told I would be given two, but so far that is an empty number. Oh well, let me get back to crocheting. I have 5 days to come up with 13 more scarfsâŚ
I love to crochet. There’s no surprise there. If I am sitting, most likely I am crocheting. My favorite stitch is the granny square. Although I donât like stitching them together. I will post a few videos from my favorite crafters that show how to crochet granny squares. I was working on my red blanket (late last night). I had an idea in my head, but somehow it wasnât coming out as I thought it would. I did a few different stitches into one and will end it with a simple granny stitch until there isnât any yarn left. Oh, this is the fourth design for these colors. I decided to not frog the last project, turning it into a few balls of yarn, and just keep crocheting.
I found a better way to start my granny square⌠A standing single stitch takes the small bump away. I came up with this thought last night, because there was little light in my room. (Oh, I do not recommend crocheting with only light coming from the TV) When I got to a corner, I could barely see that third stitch, so when I turned my project around and was getting ready to make that slip stitch. I stopped. I was thinking can I do a standing crochet stitch? I was way too tired to keep thinking about this, so I just did it. I was so happy, because it worked.
** sidenote: I tried to find a video of a standing crochet stitch and there are way too many. I saved some, but they are lost in my group list as well.
I didnât see what I did, so maybe it wasnât a standing stitch after all. No, it was my standing stitch, and one day I will start my own YouTube channelâŚ.
My standing stitch goes like this: a single stitch, turned, another single stitch, I only pulled through one stitch, now there is two stitches on my hook, I pulled through one stitch, and now there are two stitches left, pulling through those two to make the height of a double crochet stitch.

They say, âWhen one door closes, another door opens,â and I know that is true. Then again my door was always half open and half closed. I could see and imagine a happy life, but the âunknownâ was preventing me from opening the door completely.
I have been crocheting for years and when some friends asked if I could teach them I said, âYes,â and told them the items they were going to need. I was confident I could teach them, but I was beyond wrong. The only thing I was able to teach them was how to start it and hold the needle.
I didnât want to give up and neither did they, but after two more days they only were able to get one row. They gave up and no matter how much I tried to encourage them, they didnât want to try again.
I started thinking maybe just knowing how to crochet wasnât enough, so I put it aside and gave up on teaching. I am out of work for three weeks (due to a fall at work) and I thought it was a good idea to teach what I love and thatâs crochet.
I canât wait until I get some more crochet hooks and then I will be signing up. I want to learn more and maybe one day I can teach what I have learnedâŚâŚ.
I couldnât think of anything to crochet, so I decided to just do granny squares. I did a few different ones, because I thought just working a regular square would be boring. I did learn doing different stitches even though you are using the same five count, the size doesnât come out the same, and then you have to add an extra row to make up the difference.
I am going to post a few granny squares. These ladies know what they are doing, and I have learned a few new stitches from each of them. If it’s about crochet it could be on their site, so have fun looking through what they already have posted.

Joining Squares Idea in Crochet | Zigzag Slip Stitch Method | Embroidery InspiredLyza Walters   Mar 11, 2020
I started joining my squares together as I started watching videos for my online traveling post. I may have stopped working on that post, I donât feel like stopping crocheting, so I am going to watch one of my favorite amines and enjoy my first day off in five days. (I was trying to add the words to each video, but the words wouldn’t copy as I liked. I still don’t like computers to try to figure out how to fix it)
Time for a glass of water before I get back to having some crochet fun!!
~ It is high time I get a series about selling my crochet items. I have been putting this off and I am so over doing this to myself. I am going to restart this quest. I am also going to do this my way, learning from others, and having fun along the way.Â
~ These charts can give you an idea on what size a blanket should be. I normally make my blankets a little bigger, because I like my blankets to be with the child a little longer. Well, if I am working on a blanket for a child.
~ I was looking for a direct answer to my question, âhow much should I charge for a crochet blanket,â and I got more questions than answers. ExamplesâŚâŚ.
~ I am not yet ready to size and price all of my projects (yet), because I am going to turn every last scrap of yarn into a project. That is my first step and it’s time to get crochetingâŚâŚ
