in conclusion
Knitting one square does not take a lot of time. If you are traveling for long distances, or don’t want to sit idle between breaks, you should seriously consider knitting squares.
It is addictive and before you know it, you’ll have enough squares to turn into something handmade and useful.
It is an ideal way to use up scraps of wool, or the many balls without projects (LOL).
Whatever you do, HAPPY KNITTING!
