  19. I love this pattern. Your work is so perfect...can't see the joins at all. The color combination of the one your are working on is so appealing.

    I crochet tight too. What is that all about? Good thing I have crochet to get out all that tension. haha. ;-)

  23. Debi - I loved this square when you first shared a picture, but I couldn't figure out what I could do with it if you shared your pattern (I'm not huge into multi-square blankets just yet) - this one large square is PERFECT! thanks for the pattern, and great idea. Definitely adding to my list of "to-do" in the future projects!

  25. Debi, This is gorgeous as always!! Definitely have to add this to my to do list, which is already filled with blankets inspired by your posts. I love them all!!

  26. This is awesome Debi! Thank you for sharing it. I am definitely going to make one. I just started on a never ending granny but Mikey from the Crochet Crowd. It's the 7 strand. Oddly my crochet 'impatience' I think is changing. I don't know, we'll see what happens. But I'm loving the colors I picked (except I changed one, and unfortunately it was the first one I started with and that is the only round with that color but I have an idea to cover it up).
