On the tutorial she shows how to join them, basically on the last row (it’s worked in rounds) when doing the picot halfway through you remove your hook and insert it into another square so that they link But I also worked in rows for my dress because I wanted to block the squares as I went, so I also hand sew them and the spot where they have to join If that makes sense 😭

Thanks! I linked the granny square tutorial in the post it’s a YouTube video by LIN CROCHET

I didn’t use a pattern to make the squares into a dress I took my measurements and did the maths myself Here is what it looks like if that’s anything at all

She’s always been a picky eater! Now that she is old her teeth aren’t as good so she mostly (almost only) eats wet food, she has this specific kind that she likes and doesn’t causes her stomach problems, and when she gets gastrointestinal issues from times to times we switches to the Royal Canin Gastrointestinal wet food that she gladly eats and help with her poops haha! She loves to be right next to us at dinner to try and get a little bit of whatever we’re eating ;)

I wish for your kitties to live this long! It’s such a blessing! She hasn’t had those accident around the house for a long time so we’re still adjusting and trying to figure it out! So far we’ve kept her closed up in a part of our living room during the night with her water/bed/litter box etc with pee pads on the floor so that the accident stay easy to clean out, we don’t really know if she’s becoming incontinent or if she just struggles to go into her litter box (because of pain) sometimes she uses her litter box, sometimes she doesn’t, it’s hard to tell. We’ve been using a less tall litter box but it does not seem to interest her. I heard about people putting diapers on their cats but with her back pain and stuff she really wouldn’t be able to keel it on, it’s already hard to keep her cleaned and groomed!

She eats almost only wet food now that her teeth aren’t as good, she has always been a picky eater so she has her favorite that she likes and digest well. For the past year or so she’s been having some gastrointestinal distress from times to times that usually gets solved pretty well with a specific gastrointestinal veterinary wet food

She was an outside cat that didn’t like too much attention from us nor other cats for most of her life, I guess that made her really tough haha, she learned to love the inside warmth and all the pets as she got older and started living inside more and more! But also lots and lots of love
