Granny Squares? Help ...

David, at the end of a round, I slip stitch into the top of the first ch3 of the next group. That closes that round. But I need to get over to the next space to start the next round. So I sl st again into the next dc of that cluster, and then a final sl st into the last dc (now I'm over to the space) and then a ch 3 to start the next round, 2 dc into the space below.

At the end of this row, I will end up back at this ch 3, 2 dc cluster, and I'll sl st into the top of the ch 3, and start it all over again.

I hope I've explained it so you can understand it. Holler if you can't.

Could it be dislexia? Some famous people are dislexic, and went far in their lives before it was finally diagnosed... they tended to cover it up well. :o)

Ah, okay! I was away (off-line) for a couple of years and just came back on last spring, so I must have missed your first entrance! :o)

Peace! Gemini

Hi David,

LibraryCat was responding to me asking her if she was new, or if I had just not noticed her before and therefore I was just having a blonde moment. It turns out that I actually had missed her first entrance as I was off-line myself for a couple of years when she was here before, much the same as when you were here before... so my blondeness didn't have to be blamed for it.

Peace! Gemini

Wow Rusty, that's brilliant! Thanks, now I can do a more doily-type granny square, where the "right side" is always facing me! :)

Thanks again,

David

David, I tried your way of turning each round and the result isn't as nice, bc you end up with a right side round, a wrong side round, etc. When you don't turn it, one side is all Right, the other is all Wrong. I think you'll like the results when you don't turn.

I'm glad you could understand my explanation. Happy I could help.

Rusty, I'm curious - how does your gs method feel compared with the turn gs method? I have a visual memory of granny squares I made from 20+ years ago when I didn't pay much attention to whether something was the right or wrong side.

Some time ago I felt a doily a neighbor had made of crochet thread, it did feel different somehow, there were more "flecks" or bumps or something on the wrong side, is that the same with your non-turn grannies using yarn?

David

David, the Right side feels smooth, looks just like the traditional picture of a Granny Square. The Wrong side is sort of bumpy, and somehow just looks like it's the wrong side. LOL . It's very easy to tell the Right side from the Wrong side when you do the sl st and don't turn it.

David I will make one and ask my husband to scan it and Email it to you ? than you can see it ,,, Only the corneres have 4 DC ,,, the others aren`t clusters anymore after 2 roiunds they become full DC triangles between the corner Adding more DC s mirjam t

Great, thanks Mirjam! :)
