This is what I awoke to this morning:

A snowy January day in Raleigh, North Carolina — My front yard, January 18, 2013

Iago had passed through, leaving in its wake streets filled with soggy snow and clear blue skies which made for excellent light by which to crochet. As my Sisterhood of Colors swap has a requirement of using black yarn, I put that excellent light to good use and finished Square 4

Here is the back of the square:

The back of a granny square with a border of slip stitches on every other round — The back of Square 4

and here is the front:

A granny square with a slip stitch bordering every other round — The front of Square 4

I really like the texture that the rounds of slip stitching create, as well as the added benefit of squaring up the motif for those times you don’t want the wonky look of an unfettered granny square.

Now for the week in review.
