Ah - that’s why I’m making big squares…. But the problem is, one day I have to join them!

Witching Hour Sweater for a friend
Super, super cool!! I made this for my partner a while back, and now I think he might get another!! (Can you see the Moomin, and the Hattie Fattners ??) . (And why, oh why is he sideways??)

Thanks! I’m using a long cable - and then transferring the completed, but not cast off, square onto “scoobies” (this is a GREAT tip I picked up from someone on instagram - scoobies are those long plastic tubes that were a bit of a fad a few years ago for kids crafting. They are cheap, and hollow, so you can transfer stitches on and off by jamming the tip of the needle into the scoobie, and carefully sliding them across the join)

Sock blankets
I started one of these - and to try to mitigate the mad colours, I’ve been putting a white square every other square - But I LOVE your solution so much more! I can see some frogging in my future!

They are hollow, so I can jam my needle into them and slip the stitches across. So much easier than using scraps of wool!

Aye , I think I might be too impetuous for grafting…. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted…!

Going to run out of yarn (help!)
You know, I’d be tempted to do almost exactly what Einhoernchen says, but choose a contrasting color, and make it look deliberate.

Making up as I go - the slip stitches were inspired by a pic I saw somewhere of a scarf - the plan is to make about 16 squares (maybe 20 - but I might not make that!) then graft them together…. I’ve grafted two together - and honestly, it’s not my finest work - so I’m still thinking how to join!

Somehow, I’m not seeing that as much of an upside!!!
