Crocheting together is quick (er) too, & makes it very hard wearing.
When my Mother learned to crochet she made a single beadspread of 3.5" Granny Squares in as many colours as she could find.
These were crocheted together in black, so it looked rather like a stained glass window.
There was supposed to be a second one for me, but it didn’t materialise…

I think they may be rather laborious as one starts into the second hundred…
Mistake Rib sounds like the story of my life, Fishy… 
Are you going to have a 1 row ‘border’ in the same stitch, & colour as the joining colour? It would give it a bit of definition, I feel.

I have a particular fondness for Tumbling Moss Blocks (both the name, which is a good obscenity substitute, and the stitch) and Parallelogram stitch, but many are lovely and quite new to me.
I am Mistress of End In-Weaving for the duration.
As a counterbalance to all this restrained blue-green good taste, I am knitting something flouncy, glittery and pink, for Reasons.
I plan on a border in the joining colour and stitch, but categorically no fringe, Carinthia.
Dear God
Deffo no fringe.
Perish the thought, & all others like it.

Pink and glittery?
You called Gus dear?
Just, wow! That’s quite a project, and the completed squares look great.
So, 34 in 3 months = 19.763ish months for 224, you should finish knitting around about the end of April 2026. Then the joining up. Good luck!
I hope to get quicker at it with time! But I did in fact start, after buying and getting the OK on all the yarn, on 6th October, so it is 34 in 67 days and not quite so daunting. (And I have all but finished another square today, 2cm of it to go.)
Sudden Daughter is so lucky - she will be wrapped in her mother’s love for her lifetime
That quilt will be treasured
The stitches have me awestruck
And in 4 ply?
Wow!
It’s all wow, to me!
Soo xx
It has to be 4-ply or it is too loose, for this particular job.
and that ought to say, “4-play and 2.25mm needles”.
Loving the typo, Fishy… 
Carinthia. xx
Me too
Be them fancy stitches, or izzit fancy yarn?
Carinthia. xx
