I have to admit that I am LOVING working with these colours. They truly uplift my spirits. The first nine squares have been a joy!
Nine days, nine squares – and that means the first strip is complete.
Strip 2 began today. Don’t forget that you can follow daily progress here.
They’re looking good. What sort of join are you using? The photo is too small for me to see. They look sewn with whipstitch.

Thanks for dropping in, Sandra. No, not whip stitch – I’m using cheap and cheerful acrylic, so a simple honest crochet join suits it perfectly. DC into each hole – 3 chain between. I think there’s a description somewhere on the blog. I’ll tag you if I find it.

I remembered that the pictures were on Instagram not the blog. https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Q_CmChDST/?igshid=1bse6dwlqk6a0

Thank you for the Instagram link, though I can’t quite see clearly how this is done. It looks a lovely neat join. If you have a visual step by step on your blog, I’d love to see it. You mention a DC into each hole. Is that in British or American terms? I use American, but a DC in British is a SC in American. Anyway. I must try it out, once I’ve worked it out!

Basically –
Squares back to back..
Then it’s a US SINGLE CROCHET into the two holes to join, 3 chain, 1sc into next paired holes – and so on. I like the added texture it gives. It’s also quick and simple. I may do a little tutorial at some point in the future. Ask if this doesn’t make sense.

I’m going to try it out as you’ve explained and I’ll let you know. I like this colour scheme so much that I’ve joined you on this one. I expect I’ll use the colours in a personal way. I had to order the new colours. I’m still waiting for mustard and dandelion. Clementine is giving some nice pep already!

That’s great! The squares are meant as inspiration so by all means do your own thing. Individuality is the key.
