Log Cabin Baby Blanket: February 2007 Archives
The end is drawing near for this project. Only one more square remains! Clearly a full DVR and a lot of unpleasant weather can lead to some productive knitting time. Now that I have most of the squares to look at, though, I'm still pretty happy with my original design. I just love it when things work out in real life the way you planned them out on paper!
It's beginning to feel like I am in the home stretch with this project. I now have 7 squares and I've started on square eight. I had thought that this project might have started to wear on me by now (I'm not known for either my patience or my ability to do most things multiple times), but instead I find it to be a nice comfortable project, perfect to work on when I need something to do with my hands. Probably it's only drawback is the fact that since it is a multicolored project, it is not terribly portable.
The baby that this project is being worked on for is only about 7 weeks away now. So I'm trying to pick up the pace a little bit so that I have plenty of time to finish the squares and get it finished out right. The more squares I have, the easier it is for me to visualize the final product.
Now I'm off to play with some fabric pieces. Tonight it's going to be time to start sewing the squares for my Serenity quilt together, and I want to spend some time thinking about what fabrics I like together the best. I'm actually really looking forward to sitting down in front of a sewing machine. Hopefully that feeling lasts through my class!
I am now 2/3 of the way through my log cabin baby blanket project. 6 squares finished, 3 to go. I was able to get through these 6 squares on the first three skeins of yarn that I used, which means I have nothing to worry about when it comes to having enough yarn for the last three squares. A lot of leftovers may encourage me to come up with a more elaborate border. Or someone may get an interesting pair of winter socks.
Working on the baby blanket is a very pleasant thing right now. A reminder that life ends, but new life begins as well.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a comment on yesterday's post. It means a great deal to me and John also appreciated your kind words and thoughts. There's some really kind people who read your blog, he said. I couldn't agree more.
Happy V-Day to those of you who celebrate.. and even if you don't I wish you a very good Wednesday.
