While I am coping with my Dragon Age withdrawl (yes, it really does sort of feel that way... and I go back and forth on the whole issue of another playthrough) I've been knitting squares and catching up with some of the recordings on our DVR. I was hoping this afternoon to get some nice artsy looking pictures of my efforts, but the dark grey clouds hanging over Chicago thwarted my efforts. I really hate winter lighting in my house. It can take the nicest colors and turn them in to something strange, particularly the oranges and yellows, which just seem to blow out. You'll have to trust me that these squares look nicer together than the do in this picture.
So this photo is really more about documenting progress than it is about trying to make the project look nice. I've now finished 36 squares (I got three more knitted up after this photo was taken) and together they are about the size of a large-ish baby blanket. As much as I would love to have something that ends up the size of a full-to-queen sized blanket, I feel like that may be unrealistic, if only from a cost perspective. So I think I'm going to be hoping for something that works out more as a smallish afghan for my couch.

I have to get back to my Koigu squares -- then maybe we can have an old fashioned quilting bee, er, afghan square joining party!
Maybe one of the gift giving fairies will pick out some nice skeins that go with the other squares in the project. It would be cool to have a larger blanket out of it.
Lovely but I confess all I can see is the hours of joining those squares! I have a huge amount of sock yarn leftovers that I have been think would make a nice blanket but it'll have to be mitered squares that can be knit off each other. I know I would just never get around to joing so many squares.
