MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 08 2016 : 11:45:49 AM I have recently started making a crochet mini blanket/lovey with granny squares and it seems a bit lopsided. Is this a normal thing and will work out in the end? Or are my stitches not tight enough? What do I need to change to make this look correct? Thanks for the help. Krista

rachelbee	Posted - Jul 12 2016 : 06:15:19 AM That's a great idea, I've only ever blocked crochet projects, never tried pulling to square them up! ___________________ Rachel, #6992

MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 11 2016 : 7:04:15 PM Thank you Marie! I'll give that a try. Do I do it after each round? Or just at the very end? Krista
forgetmenot	Posted - Jul 09 2016 : 6:34:04 PM Ah..so, you get the little tricks of the trade. Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! Farmgirl sister #3926 "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the belief that something is more important than fear." Ambrose Red Moon
churunga	Posted - Jul 09 2016 : 5:22:35 PM I signed up for Pauline Turner's Crochet Master Course back in 2013. It is a juried correspondence course in which a person sends in samples of work, three projects and a research paper. This is a huge UFO of mine which I should really pull out and get some support from my sisters here to finish. Pauline is a professional crochet designer and instructor from England.

forgetmenot	Posted - Jul 09 2016 : 4:37:52 PM I never heard of that technique, Marie. Wow! I'll have to try it! Where did you learn that? Farmgirl sister #3926 "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the belief that something is more important than fear." Ambrose Red Moon
churunga	Posted - Jul 08 2016 : 11:51:43 AM The stitches have to be "set" after the square is finished. To do this, roll the square up and pull sharply by the ends. Roll it up from an adjacent side and do the same. The square will look much better. Marie, Sister #5142 Farmgirl of the Month May 2014 Try everything once and the fun things twice.
