Do you still need (want) 7″ knit squares for blankies? Like I don’t have anything else to do – lol
Also, what size needle do most folks use for the squares – so I at least have a starting point to begin to check a gauge.
Thanks and God’s richest blessings upon you.

hello,
i am a beginner and learnt everything i know from the net, some of the stitches are basically new for me and got me confuse. well it is very clear but would be rest assured that im doing the right one if there were pictures showing which stitch with the instruction or would be more accurate and helpful for a beginner to see a video of the said stitches just like some of basic stitches which is well videoed in youtube.
Thanks alot for more knowledge shared and god bless you
