Four more sleeps and we’ll be leaving this house-sit. I wrote about the knitted squares that I bought with me and how I was going to crochet them together to make a rug. The squares had been knitted by my friend’s mother who passed on some years ago.
I didn’t really like the colours as they didn’t really go together well but I tried to arrange them in some sort of sequence. Originally I was going to use a pale blue to do the edging but I had enough of the darker colour and used that. I think it looks better with a dark edging rather than a pale one.

I went to a YouTube tutorial to learn how best to crochet the squares together.

One of my grandmothers used to make similar knitted squares with little dabs of yarn she had left from making something. Of course, they didn't go together, but she joined them all and made blankets for her family. A rug or a lap blanket or something similar is about all I can think to do with them. It will be nice. Looks good to me!

On a cold day, they feel good to pile on and keep us warm.

Even though the colors are kind of random the big blocks of strong colors is very attractive. You did a lovely job joining them.

Thanks. At least it can be used now which is a good thing and it doesn't look too bad.
