I would name it for her (i.e. my grandmother's were Esther & Marian so if this were mine & I was honoring one of them it would be Esther's square or Marian's square).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580682346954496638.post-59761916728782685472011-01-11T15:40:10.559+11:002011-01-11T15:40:10.559+11:00Hey Jen, Thanks for your interest and entering the...Hey Jen, Thanks for your interest and entering the competition. I have emailed you privately with my address. I'm hoping there will be enough squares sent for a blanket each in Australia and England! <br />maybe a 3.5cm hook for all 8 rows will produce 15cm/6" square. I can't wait to see your square!Papillon Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755400795801681044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580682346954496638.post-27341759338471922112011-01-11T15:16:01.502+11:002011-01-11T15:16:01.502+11:00Hooray I have done it again....this time the centr...Hooray I have done it again....this time the centre is done with a 3.5mm hook and then the rest done on a 4mm hook it is 16cm finished :-) Let me know your address Jane if you are the one sewing it together or I am posting a parcel to Sue if you want me to include it in that??

I find it is better to crochet firmer as the stitches will stretch over time. 8ply can be very deceiving, some are more like 6ply and others are like 10ply. I've just measured the squares I've done and they are 15cm, however the blue/mauve is thicker wool and is more like 16cm, but it will be fine when I sew it togetherPapillon Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03755400795801681044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580682346954496638.post-89699212802798520352011-01-10T20:48:44.854+11:002011-01-10T20:48:44.854+11:00Hello Jane, Ive made the square and my tension is ...Hello Jane, Ive made the square and my tension is the same as yours in the trebles ie 3 rows or 4 tr = 2.5cm but I only have up to row 7 and it is 6 inches....are you a fairly tight crocheter?? That could be taken as a cheeky question or not ;-) I've used a 4mm hook and 8 ply acrylic.

Have just completed my first one but it has turned out 7" instead of 6 so I'll use it for something else and drop a size hook for my next one. I did use a 4.25mm hook though as I was too lazy to go find my 4.00 hook !! This is a very pretty square. When I get my size right, I'll send a few to you. Thanks for another lovely pattern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
