In which I have a very productive weekend

This past week when the sun set on Thursday, I found myself disappointed. The days had somehow disappeared, and only ten of the twenty-seven squares I had wanted to rehab were done. I was not as productive as I would have liked. So when I woke up on Friday, I was determined to do whatever it took to make up for lost crochet and have a very productive weekend — at least as it applies to crochet — and as the sun set on today, I had managed to finish work all but two of the twenty-seven squares I had set out to rehab over the week:

two future granny squares made from crochet remnants
Two not fully rehabbed future five-inch crochet squares

These two squares ended up being more time intensive than I expected.

The scrap granny on the left had a number of very short ends to be woven in and I kept promising myself that I would weave them in “next.” Next, however, didn’t roll around until sometime in the late afternoon or (depending on your perspective) early evening of Sunday, and by then it was time to eat dinner. As for the four two-round granny squares on the right, one had been separated from its compatriots and had gone missing for several days.

But while I was looking for the missing square, I continued work on the myriad squares that weren’t missing.

As I made use of the yarn stash I currently have access to the bins and bags of what I think of as my “portable” crochet empire, the weekend turned into a blur of stitches and frogging and weaving in of ends, and eventually, this:

crochetbug, crochet flower, crochet remnant, crochet square, granny square
An afternoon’s progress on the nine future five-inch crochet squares

was transformed into this:

nine rehabbed crochet granny squares
One nine-patch of future five-inch crochet squares

continuing at a steady, if not fevered, pace, this:

crochetbug, crochet flower, crochet remnant, crochet square, granny square
Progress on my second nine-patch of future five-inch crochet squares

was transformed into this:

nine crochet squares including a crochet peace sign
A second nine-patch of future five-inch crochet squares

and determined to make this weekend the most productive in recent memory, this:

nine crochet remnants to rehabbed into crochet squares
A third future nine-patch of five-inch crochet squares

was transformed into this:

nine assorted granny squares
A third nine-patch of future five-inch crochet squares

Pleased that I had gotten so much of what I set out to do done, I took some time to get this photo of the completed squares:

twenty-five multicolor crochet squares
Twenty-five five-inch rehabbed crochet squares ready for adventure

I am enjoying working through my crochet remnants enormously, and for the time being, I will continue to work my way through the many pieces I have, one stitch at a time.
