So I've missed a few ::T52MMMC:: Weeks 6-12 (Crochet squares)

Ooops, so, I missed a few weeks of The 52MMM Challenge there didn't I? Please forgive me. I was ill and then I was busy catching up on what I'd missed at work whilst I was ill so hadn't had time to catch up on the challenge without feeling pressured and well, that's not what The 52MMMC is about. It should be relaxed and enjoyable.

So here's the project I caught up on.

Weeks 6,7,8, 9, 10, 11 and 12. Crochet Squares.
It took me a while (poor sore fingers) and I was working at the rate of oooh about 3 a week or something. I was going to make a blanket with them but I have my mind set on something else which I'll show you when I get round to it. They're quite large in size and have used up a a chunk of scrap yarn that has been sitting around doing nothing for years.

Now, I don't have grass in my garden and it's a bit on the pokey side, so I nipped to the park to take these photos. I attracted some funny looks, especially when I was balancing on one foot trying not to get my shadow in the shot.

I'd attracted quite a crowd after about three minutes. With cries of 'oi wool girl, wotcha doin'?' and similar fired left, right and centre, it appears da yoof of Manchester aren't down wid croc-it-ing. Perhaps I'll crochet something that can cover up the slice of pants they are so desperate to share with the general public when they wear them hanging half way down their arse.

TTFN,









P.S. Do feel free to join in with the challenge should you wish. We have people jumping in all the time and as you can see it's a pretty relaxed set up. Your year will start on the date you start your first project and finish a year from that date. Please let me know if you're going to join in so I can be nosy.

  1. The squares look fab! I crochet too, in between looking after my 3 daughters, and they would've taken ages. Can't wait to see what they will be made into xx

  2. I love the impromptu art display and am curious now at what you are going to make. I think you have done very well. I know how sore my fingers get after a few rows never mind squares.

  3. Lovely squares! I will join the 52MMMC once I get my new oven, I have lots of recipes planned and that will help me along.

  4. I'm just amazed you found a piece of park grass free of dog poo...
    I am feeling very relaxed at not photographing and posting my makes, a bit too relaxed, almost falling over in fact.

    Love those granny squares.

  5. They hurt my poor fingers a great deal and yes it's hard to fit crocheting into life even though it is one of the more 'mobile' of crafts.

    Mrs C, we'll be glad to have you on board. Can't wait to see what you make.

  11. As a crochet-a-holic it is always nice to see what other fans of it have been up to :-)

    I don't think I can commit to your hook-a-long as I have about a gazillion unfinished projects as it is... but I will def make a note to come back and see what you are up to!

    It's nice to know I am not the only one who gets weird looks for taking crochet outside my front door :-)

  13. I love your squares, well done for catching up. It's no wonder your fingers are sore.
    I also love what you wrote about butt cracks. What is it with these people that insist on having there backside hanging out? It is far from attractive.
