Attachment Issues


I sooo can't believe I just did this! I made a scarf. And not just any scarf. But a granny square scarf - a baby square scarf - for my baby! Yay me! I hadn't even set out to try this scarf when I pulled out the yarn. The plan was to get started on another blanket for my shop, but then I started thinking about Miss J asking me if I could make her another blanket this morning, and since I really don't know when I will get around to doing that, I decided that maybe I'd try making her a scarf instead. A little something to match her coat since I had some pink yarn left over from the blanket I made her.


Its definitely NOT the best. Shoot, I had to research youtube videos to figure out how to put the squares together, and discovered that I didn't even need the yarn needle that I bought to do it. As simple as the technique looked, I still managed to stitch the squares in the wrong places, causing me to start over several times, and it wouldn't be that far fetched if this scarf didn't stay in one piece!


Time for me to start perfecting my granny square attachment skills, because, after I put these photos up on Facebook, I got an inquiry order! Yikes! I don't even have a price in mind. These aren't even part of my shop... yet. I can barely keep the squares together, remember??

Crochet challenge #1. Bring it on!

She is is so pretty in pink! I LOVE IT! Great Job!

What a beautiful scarf! Great job!

WOW! Look at you expanding your horizons! Love it... have you thought about doubling it over and connecting it that way? :) Let us know when you think of a price!

@ Amma Mama: Thanks! She swears it isn't her favorite color, but always reaches for it.

@ JoyfulMom: Thanks!

@ Shannon: I think that's the method that I used. I put the scares together and then attached them, just gotta perfects it, like, attaching all the way from corner to corner, lol. I went back and looked at it and I think they are gonna stay together, they just aren't quite how I want them, lol.

I will definitely let everyone know once I have them for sale!

ha! girl, yeah. seems like people always wanna request/order prototypes!

well it looks perfect (from afar anyway ha ha! :-), and of course miss j. is adorable wearning it.
