Laura's Square 21


I cast on one less set of four on this square. Other than that I did it as written. It was pretty easy to remember, especially as I already made it wrong once lol.

Laura's Square 15


I didnt like square 15 in the book so I set it aside while I puzzled over what to make. I started on LTK 21 and then made an error. On row 6 I slipped with yarn in back. Of course I didnt notice it until I was on row 6 in the next repeat. I looked at it and decided I liked what I saw so I was going to call this one square 15 and then make square 21 correctly.

It is too wide so I should have knocked off four stitches.

Laura's square 20


I should have done a few less stitches on this one. It was easy to do but for some reason took me forever to make it. Not holding my interest probably.

Laura's Square 18


On this square I did an extra half repeat and it is still a tad shy on both width and height. It isn't rolling too terribly.

Laura's Square 16


K and I didn't like square 16 so we made our own. I took a pattern K found on Ravelry and copied it into excel, changing it to limit the number of slip stitches. I like it a lot. I plan on designing my own square 15 too.

Laura's Square 14


Made this one as written, but it was very dull! Pattern was easy to follow though.

Laura's square 17



I cast on 37 instead of 43 and it was still a tad too wide. I have a photo of the back side because I think it looks like paper chain dolls and might use the wrong side in the finished ghan. I think that the right side looks like white snow on television when the channel doesn't come in.

Laura's square 13


Here is my square 13. I am starting to dislike mosaics!

Laura's Square 12


Here is my square 12. Lots of character in this one. I ripped out some but left some too.

Laura's square 11


Here is my square 11. I think I did a few less rows.

Laura's Square 10


Finished this one a while ago too, don't think I made any changes. Now for 11. 12. 13, 17, and 18...EEK! I will have to knit like crazy in June to catch up.

Laura's Square 9


Finished this a while ago, don't remember if I made any changes.

Laura's Square 8


This square was a breeze after the previous few squares. New technique, knitting in the row below was not as difficult as one might expect. Plus it has way less stiches than other squares. I think it looks like space invaders though! All in all happy with this one!

Laura's Square 7



This square seemed to take a really long time to make. I am not sure if it is the combination of needing to concentrate every second, and front/back stitches that made this square drag but it is finished. On the other hand, I like the look a lot, and actually like both front and back of this square, hence both pictures.

Laura's Square 6


Here is square six. It took a long time to make, and I am not sure why. I just didn't have the mojo I guess.

I hope hubby photographed it the right side up!

Laura's Square 5



Here is my square 5. I liked this design, but never could do it without peeking at the pattern!

Laura's Square 4


Here is my Square 4. I had to add two rows to the top to make it square so its a little unbalanced but no one but us would probably notice.

Laura's Square 3



Here is my square three in periwinkle. Colors are off because its dark out today.

I enjoyed this square, and my tension is getting a little better. Still a ways to go though.

Laura's Square 2



Here is my square two, not very square, very curly, and not the same size as square 1. Colors are navy and white. Took far less time to make as I realized I was knitting wrong and it was a much lengthier way to knit. Tension is not as uneven as I expected however.

Laura's Square 1




Here is my square number 1. It is not square, doesn't have the right number of rows but the width and height were close to matching in the middles so I decided to end at that point. I may remake this one if my knitting improves by the end of the ghan. I struggled with it being too tight in the beginning making it difficult to knit. I changed to looser tension, but it is not very even. Obviously my colors are not brights, instead they are navy and white red heart super saver. They did not photograph well in the not natural light, but I couldn't wait to photograph it lol. I keep telling myself I probably stunk at crocheting when I first started too!
