I finally had a chance on Thursday to do my next square for the crochet along. Well, I would have really liked to have put it off for another 100 years or so! This week we had the square Enough Love To Go Around. Nice name & pretty square. Yeah it is all that. But what a pain of a square to hook! Grrr... Ok, so the original pattern isn't very clear which you soon find out from reading details by others that have made it. Then there is a re-write on another blog where someone has tried to simplify it, plus someone else has done a chart. So with all three of these in front of me I battled on. I have one wrong round but I don't care on this one. It seems to take such a long time to do a round. I didn't think I had done the round wrong really but it didn't make any difference to the end so I just thought it can stay put. A couple of times I nearly did think I would just ditch the whole lot & not bother but I didn't want to be a quitter either! So I did it. It is ok. It was wavy as anything, I could nearly surf on it! So I have put it out for blocking. I think the super duper double trebles are a bit tight. Boy those stitches seem to go on for ever when you do them! So that's another one. A challenge for sure. It's done & I won't be doing another. Oh & I don't think I should have done the centre a different colour than the rest of the light yellow bit as they are actually a heart sort of motif in the middle, but there was no way I was undoing it for that either! One day I will like it maybe...
Happy Saturday!

Sounds like a battle. Good on you for persisting though. I'm like that too... even though you wonder if the finished process will be worth it.
Good to have a go at the blocking too. I've never blocked anything. Let me know how it works out.
