The sweet join together single1/9/2024 He continues: "Once the songs were arranged, I booked a studio and recorded my guitar parts, which is always the funnest part for me. It reminded me of how great the music of the past really is." This is more of a throwback to the past and it felt good to do that. Musically, very different from STRYPER, which is, of course, very different from all the other projects I am involved with. Sweet says: "This was a very refreshing and unique experience. With the musical direction set and two wildly skilled guitar players on board, getting a powerhouse rhythm section involved was the final key ingredient and thus Mendoza and Aldridge were asked to join and brought their immense talent into the fold. Plus, Nathan and Joel were friends from their time in TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA and Sweet had become a fan of Nathan's vocals after hearing INGLORIOUS. He immediately thought of Sweet and Hoekstra for the guitars, since they have been kicking around the idea of working together for a few years. He wanted to surround the talents of powerhouse vocalist James with established musicians from the rock and metal world to play a musical style in the vein of classic '80s hard rock. ICONIC was born from an idea conceived by Serafino Perugino, president and head of A&R for Frontiers. And handling lead vocals is none other than INGLORIOUS's Nathan James, a young talent whose vocal style is a fitting, proper descendent of rock's vocal legends of the '70s. Aldridge, currently of WHITESNAKE, has also played with Ozzy Osbourne, Ted Nugent and BLACK OAK ARKANSAS, among others, and is considered one of the greatest hard rock drummers of all-time. Mendoza's resume really speaks for itself ( THIN LIZZY, BLACK STAR RIDERS, THE DEAD DAISIES, JOURNEY, and so on) and the legendary bassist shines, as he always does, here. Hoekstra, currently of WHITESNAKE and TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, is one of hard rock's premiere guitarists, whose fretwork is regularly praised and admired. Sweet, known for his work as guitarist/vocalist for the legendary heavy metal band STRYPER, and his solo work, with his instantly recognizable voice and guitar style is really a name that needs no introduction to the hard rock faithful. The official music video for the LP's first single, "Nowhere To Run", can be seen below. ICONIC's debut album, "Second Skin", will be released on June 17.

If that’s the case then I would recommend using a whip stitch for joining squares together. There are times when crocheting seams just isn’t right for the project you’re making or perhaps you don’t like the look that it gives. Another Method for Joining Granny Squares In this one I used Drops Cotton Merino yarn and my White and Nickel Odyssey Furls Crochet Hook. I often get asked what yarn and hooks I’ve used in my tutorials. My children love their blankets with this seam as it is really tactile and lovely to play with. I often use this method on the right side of my crochet in the same colour as the edges of the motifs and it adds a really lovely ridge that is great fun! The single crochet join (aka double crochet join in the UK) is a great crochet seam to add texture and make a project more robust. 1: Single Crochet Join (US) / Double Crochet Join (UK) Let’s jump into the 3 methods – the single crochet join, the slip stitch join and the flat crochet join. Once you have done these three things, you are ready to start joining your crochet squares (or hexagons, or octagons, or whatever shape you have!). Lay all of your squares out and decide how you want them – there’s nothing worse than joining lots and then realising you did one wrong a few motifs back!. ![]() Check your stitch counts – make sure you have the same amount of stitches on each motif so they match up nicely.Block all of your motifs before you join your crochet squares together – this will make sure they are all the same size and keep them from becoming ‘wobbly’.I promise the whole piece will look so much better for it! There are a few simple things you can do before attaching your crochet motifs with whichever seam you choose.
