This week I restarted a crochet project that I began in December. I am making a square pillow case using a new stitch a friend taught me. This stitch creates a kind of waffle pattern that I think will make for a nice texture on a pillow. I am using some fluffy pink, purple and white yarn with a 9mm crochet hook.

I got bored with this project a while ago and just haven’t had the desire to pick it back up again but I would like to complete it. Unfortunately I have realized that at some point I missed a final stitch on one row and now my shape as been getting progressively smaller as I go and is no longer an even square. I also noticed that my stitches have gotten progressively tighter which changes the look of the pattern so as I restart I want to make sure I try to keep the tension even throughout.

Unfortunately I only have enough of this colour yarn to complete one side of the pillow case. I do have a ball of yarn that is the exact same weight and texture, it’s just white. I think that will look fine because there is white in the yarn I started with. Hopefully by next week I will have finished redoing this side of the pillow case and can begin the other side!
