Friendship Square

This is the square I made for Christi. It's called Winter Jewel. It's really a 7" sq, but I used an "H" hook and it came out to a perfect 8" square!!!

Christi's Square

I usually forget to take pictures of the SAL squares I send out.



This is SmoothFox's Cool Smiley Square. You can find it through ravelry or her blog.

Puff Hearts Square

This is my second Biggest Loser II Square. It is 8", done in RHSS Aran. It's a pattern called Granny Hearts from Leisure Arts #2454, Sweetheart Afghans to Crochet.

Popcorn Granny Square

I made this today for Christi for the Friendship Square exchange. It's 8" and is from the book American School of Needleworks 1064, New Granny Afghans... it's called "Snow White Granny"...

Starlight Square

Made this for a Friendship Swap square.... It's called "Starlight" by Mary Ann Sipes and I found it in a book Leisure Arts #584 Always Afghans.

The gauge in the book was way off, though - I used an I (called for a J) and it was still too big, had to fudge a little.

The yarns are a dark green I had in a Caron One Pounder and some RHSS Aran.

Two BL squares

And my two BL squares that I'll get washed up and sent off to Karen this week :)

Ooops forgot to add pattern sources. The top one is my Grecian Squares. The second one is this one
