Well the squares I was doing in the Extended Double Crochet just didn't look right... they didn't have neat 'square' edges, and when I did a heap of them, I found it difficult to go around them in white. So although I am still going to make a Queen sized bedspread, I won't be continuing with this EXDC pattern.
I have since found a nice V-stitch that I am using to make squares for blankets for my sister-in-law's six children. We've designated them a colour each, so I'm starting them now, to be ready to give as Christmas presents (It's summer here in Australia then, but they'll be ready to use as soon as it gets a bit frosty ;-)
I'll have to take a picture of the squares as soon as I am able, so you can see how lovely this V-stitch is. When I decide on a new square for my bedspread, and make all the new measurements... I'll definitely let you know! Because its a variegated maroon/pink/white yarn, I want a pattern that is not too complicated, but shows off the gorgeous colours... any suggestions?

- I am a single mother of three children who are all aged six and under. I have had a back injury, and have taken up crocheting recently as a way of distracting myself from pain as well as being a constructive way to use my time. I have since fallen in love with crocheting, I love searching the web for inspiration and patterns, and I want to share with everyone that enjoys it as much as I do... I hope you come back regularly to keep updated :-D
