[NFB-Krafters-Korner] joining squares

[misslady0971 at gmail.com]

I'd like to do the same thing.  A long time ago, I put a sweater together
using the slip stitch--crochet--and I'd like to learn how to use that for my
joining stitch.  I don't remember for sure how I did it.  Then maybe I
wouldn't mind joining something as much.  I don't crochet, but the slip
stitch I could do back then, and I sort of know how to chain.

Hi Tammy and others,

I would like to do what Mary Lee and others talked about, make dishcloth
squares of many patterns for an afghan with a specific theme. I don't like
sewing squares or strips together with a needle. My Mom used to crochet
squares together for me when I didn't know how to crochet at all. I think it
looks neater. Before I begin, I would like Tammy or someone else to teach
kind of a mini class on how to join two knitted pieces together using
crochet stitches.

Once I made an afghan using the Galway fisherman's knit pattern. At that
time I had a small yarn stash, and used 3 shades of blue around the outside
squares, and the middle was a kind of checkerboard of squares of yellow and
burnt orange. She put a round of crochet around each square with one of the
blues. I could see the colors at the time and it was really cool. So, it
used up 5 colors of yarn.  

What does anybody think, and when could it be done?
