Gosh isn't middle age interesting.

The sides of my crochet creations are never as uniform as the top and bottoms. I've never figured out a method to resolve this issue and I'm thinking, after 30 years of crocheting, there isn't one.

At the end of my projects I chain one and do a slip stitch. It's easier for me that way and seems to help not make the corners drawn up looking.

So, what colors did you choose for your new project. I know it'll be really pretty when your done.

Happy crocheting my friend!
