I am slowly working on Basketweave Block #2 for my
Squares Sampler Afghan ~ Started Here.
I have not made much progress with the second block as I am having a day when my health issues are troubling and I have been resting when I have not been sitting with Mr Scrapatch. and watching the football playoffs. I will get it done when I get it done. This is a no-stress activity for me.
I do have one of my previous squares on the blocking board. This block was definitely smaller than the first of its kind. I do have a tendency to crochet more tightly as my stitching goes on. Blocking helps to even out my work.
I have also been perusing this new purchase,
Crochet Stitch Dictionary by Sarah Hazell

Crochet Stitch Dictionary ~ Preview on Google Books
As much as I am learning from videos online,
I like a good book on hand for reference.
I am thinking that after I complete the squares for my
Crochet Sampler Crochet Along @ The Inspired Wren
that I may want to make another sampler squares or stripes quilt using this book.
That is thinking far to the future, though.
For now I am taking it one stitch at a time.
Linking up today with
Happy Slow Stitching!

Your knitting is looking good Pat. I'm glad you are enjoying it. Sorry your medical issues are playing up. Hope that settles back down soon for you. Take care and have a lovely day :)
A great idea to do a sampler project! Very pretty pink for the basketweave! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
The book looks fabulous with the assortment of pretty patterns and all the 'how-to' on each stitch. Your afghan is going to be lovely with all the different squares. Love your wool holder. Hope you are feeling better soon.
