No end in sight...

...well there aren't now I've done darning them in!

All through this year I've been making 12 inch crocheted squares as part of a crochet-along (CAL) run through Ravelry. Our group is the 12 inch Block-a-Month CAL. Our leader chose the block patterns and we all interpreted them in our own way. Craftster were also doing their own CAL and we shared the patterns. There were some bonus blocks thrown in, and members substituted other patterns if they wanted to. All-in-all, I made 32 full blocks and a few dead end ones. Now, I COULD have darned in the ends as I went, and I did that on a couple of blocks, BUT (a BIG BUT) I left the majority of my blocks unfinished till the end. Sigh, you KNOW what I'm like - the procrastinator extraordinaire!  So, I darned and I clipped, and I generated a very satisfying little pile of ends.

I know what ends look like.

Happy New Year busy woman.

You are so good - I just hate darning in the ends, and find myself doing them as I go, otherwise they would never get done. Lovely to see you back, I missed you! Happy New Year xx
