More Square Fun

I had to make another square.  There are so many great squares on Ravelry so I thought I would make another.  We still have a number of weeks left in the crochet along I am joining in with but that won't make many squares so I thought I would have a play with a couple more.  So I did this one.  It's Odysey & quite pretty I think.  I enjoyed doing it.  Only problem is it is way bigger than all my other squares.  I couldn't make it smaller as the round section itself was as big as my other squares.  Then I still had to add the rows that make it into a square.  Oh well, I will donate it to anyone that could use it for a scrappy throw for charity or something.  I will have to make my selections more carefully now & make sure I pick the ones that are done in 10ply yarn so when I do them in 8ply they are my size!  That's where I went wrong here.  This one was done in 8ply & I didn't notice.  Not to worry.  It is pretty & would look great in a whole blanket of these.  But probably not in these colours!


Summer continues to rock with more picnics & paddling in the garden.  We are sure making up for no summer last year this time round.  I got out BJ's old swing that we used to hang on the deck at the old house.  There isn't really anywhere to hang it here, but I really wanted to put it up for DJ.  So I stuck it in the apple tree.  For now it's a good spot since he is still so little.  But poor BJ was devastated.  He's too big for the swing.  He told me he just wants to be little again & sobbed & sobbed.  He really really wanted to be little again so he could go on it.  The problems of a child are just too sweet.  Wish they were my problems too.   I don't want to be a grown up, I want to be little again...
