Using yarn from my stash, I made myself 11 little granny squares.
Ch 4. Join to form a ring.
Round 1- Ch 2, 2 dc in ring; *3 dc in ring, ch 2; repeat 2 more times; ch 2, join to top of beg ch 2.
Round 2- ch 1, sc in each st around, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner.
Fasten off.
Inspired by the Crochet Letters on the blog, Homemade @ My Place
I crocheted the squares together.
Grabbed a piece of cardboard and started sewing my "S" onto it, since I wanted it to have a bit of sturdy backing.
Then I cut around the edge of the S.
And I didn't pay a bit of attention to what I was doing.
And cut the yarn (in several places) that was holding the S down.
So I sewed it down again and taped the yarn ends down.
And Ta-Da!!!!! The "S" is finished. I'm going to add a bit of clear fishing line to the back and hang it up on the wall in my bedroom.....my "purple" bedroom. :)
Brilliant idea Shelly! your stash-busting is coming on great ! :)
