Have done part of a practice piece, and so glad that I am doing this. Discovered I'm not yet getting the join neat enough. All the rest is going well, and now I can focus on learning to do the join/corner. Also, I picked a square with 148 colour changes! I thought it was pretty. #grannylifecrochet

Well, I frogged the partial practice piece that did not go so well at the join, so that I could have the yarn for a second practice, and I am very happy with the way this one looks. Just finished round 9.

And here’s my practice piece. I deliberately cut it off so that the fact that I ran out of the lemon-coloured yarn with one side to go.

The practice piece was also a bit large. But here is the real deal. It's been fun. #crochetgrannylife

It may just be that there’s a lot to take in the first time: picking up the carried thread, doing the colour changes and picking up in the other three corners. And translating from US terminology…With all those sorted out, I am confident about learning the join!!

Thanks for being a trailblazer for this pattern! I’ve spent the last year on and off trying to perfect this two-color detail-friendly square — and then trying to simplify the pattern so it wasn’t so crazy! It is still a bit crazy but it looks so good :)
