A few years ago I posted this tip on how to increase a single strand into triple strand. I’ve used most of my worsted stash so I want to start in on the DK and sport so I was thinking I’d like to double strand it and then remembered this video tip by Briana K. I’ve used it in the past but it’s been a while and I’d forgotten the details. It’s quite simple to do so I thought I’d share it again.
Another great tip by Michael Sellick of the Crochet Crowd is how to eliminate the hole when you join a round. If I don’t use a tip often I forget exactly how it’s done so I’m sharing it again.
There’s a new TV show out called Elsbeth. In the first episode she wears a granny square scarf that I’ve been eyeing. It looks like she makes it double wide, two grannies side by side, and long enough to wrap around her throat and fall in front so that’s a lot of grannies.
The colors I see are light blue, dark pink, light pink, gold, purple and off white border with a join as you go used to assemble. Of course, you can’t see all the squares to determine how they are placed. On the part showing it looks like the same colors are used on two squares and those are alternated in the join. You can just barely see the side by side.
So is this scarf worth a crochet? I think it is but I don’t know when I’ll get around to it. 🙂
Are you going to make the Elsbeth scarf? I don’t know how long the show will be on as it’s new. It depends on if people take a shine to it. It’s sort of like Columbo where you know who did it and the fun is how she figures our how to prove it. At least that is the first episode I watched.
Happy Crocheting!
