150 Share a Square 2010 Squares

Well I can’t believe it.  Of course I can since I crocheted them all with my own fair hands but you know what I mean.  I have finished and have a patchwork parcel (I had to tape several end bits of brown paper together as we appear to be out of it) of my final Share a Square squares.  This takes my total to the maximum permitted 150 squares.

Love is everywhere!

Creative Space Thursday – Circles & Squares

More Share a Square 2010 squares.  I picked three colours red, white/cream and blue (okay that’s technically four but the white and cream were interchangeable) and randomly picked the colours for the squares.  Out of 55 squares 42 were unique and only one ended up edged in white.

(I know that’s a square in a square but that’s ‘the exception that proved the rule’ and that’s an expression I’ve never understood.)

Check out other people’s creative spaces here (a lot of which include arty photos of which I am NOT in the least bit envious).

Meet the mother of all tangles…

I washed my Share a Square 2010 on a delicates wash and they tangled, next time I’m going to use the hand wash setting.  However it wasn’t as bad as it looked and I was able to successfully detangle they and here’s the result…

I particularly like the colours of the yarn on these
