This month’s Ravelry CAL squares weren’t all that inspiring – or perhaps I’ve just been in a fabric mood instead of a yarn mood – and it’s taken me until almost the end of the month to do them.  The Craftster square is the Popin’ Square – essentially lots of dc, some chain spaces, and popcorn stitches.  I hadn’t done popcorns before, so at least I learned something new!

So many people had trouble with the Ravelry 12 inch square that I decided to do the 6 inch square instead and make it larger.  I’m glad that I did.  The pattern is the Jupiter Granny Square. 

Both squares are worked in Cleckheaton Vintage Hues, with a 6.0mm bamboo hook, which should have been 6.5mm.  I forgot to check what size hook I’d been using for the CAL before I started these squares.  Fingers crossed that they’ll still match in okay with the others.  It was a pleasant change to crochet in thicker yarn, because I’ve been busy with the 1.25mm hook and red thread for the past couple of weeks.
