heart squares

I know it's been a while but I'm still crocheting. I'm still dealing with health issues as one does when one gets to be my age. I've continued to make heart squares though as I mentioned in my last post. The pattern is Mayhem & Majesty's.

Here's what I've done with them so far. 

I had enough of the blue and cream to make this small blanket. I still need to add a border but I need to get a skein of yarn.


This is a true scrap blanket in progress. All the squares are made and joined into strips. Apologies for the photo. You can see the long tails I left for assembly and my messy bed. The strips need to be assembled. I haven't decided if I'll put a border on each strip and then around the whole thing (I'd need to buy yarn) or just around the whole thing (I have one 3 1/2 ounce skein of black which might do for that.)


I'm still working from stash yarn. For the squares if a ball looked like it might be large enough I weighed it on my postal scale. If it was an ounce or more it was good. 

One problem I had was a self-made one. I don't have the habit of keeping labels with my leftovers and I couldn't always tell if a yarn was worsted or DK or sport. I have bins specifically for each size but my yarn closet was recently overhauled and things got mixed up.

I still have a few squares that came out too large which I may do something with later. 

Happy crocheting!
