Crochet-Along Clue 1: Spoilers and Photos

[chiefswife6306]

I have done my first square for the 3rd time. I am to hook size I so I'm going up one more size to J and relax tension a little. Maybe it will be big enough. Does anyone know how to upload a picture from an I Pad?
Any help I would greatly appreciate it!

I had to start the whole afghan at a J Hook to get my guage to come out right. My 2nd clue came out at 10.5" but I was able to block them to the right size. Get as close as you can and then block them, that should put you where you need to be!!

I think you can upload iPad photos to Flickr or Photobucket. Then, you can post those links here.
But, there is probably an easier way. I don't have an iPad, so I can't try it out for you. Good luck!

I use the photobucket app to take and upload pics. Very easy to use to get the BBS code for images.

Well I've had my yarn all along and I FINALLY caught up - almost. This is clue 1 finished and I have done one so far on clue 2!
I love seeing all the pictures and colors. Thanks to everyone for posting.

Very pretty colors!

Finally figured out how to post a picture. Hopefully its not too big!

Finished all 12 squares for the first clue, including blocking them so I don't have a ton of wonky squares to try to block or just stitch together at the end. Now it's time to get started on the KAL

two questions: one, how did you block them, and two, I've been told by fabulous knitters (including one who just had an original design published in Vogue Knitting) that only natural fibers can be blocked. So, how does one block acrylic, a synthetic fiber?

Using heat. I use steam to block synthetic fibers.

I'm using steam to block mine, too, (using waverly yarn) and they are holding their shape wonderfully

Beautiful! The photo was a tad big, but not enough to need any tweaking.

Had these done early, but am just now getting pictures taken and posted.
