There's almost a jacket - but not quite. Another day should finish it so hopefully I'll have an updated photo for you next time. In the meantime, the use-up-the-sock-yarn-stash project is growing but it's a slow slog. I can usually manage two squares each evening but I'm refusing to sit and figure out how many I'll need to make a blanket large enough AND how long it's going to take. At least the saving grace is that the squares are added as I go along so I won't have to sew them together afterwards - silver lining?
- THIS would be a great stash buster for yarn.
- I'm not about to make another jacket anytime soon, but THIS one did catch my eye (the Vibrant Sashiko Jacket that comes up first).
- Have a peek through the gallery of THIS artist!
- HERE is a cute little project.
- There's an interesting article HERE about pricing your handmade items.
Today's quote is from Tony Robbins..."Trade your expectations for appreciation and the world changes instantly"
weaving in all of those ends is challenging enough, without having to assemble them all at once instead of as you go ... it's interestingly unique - i'd wrap myself up in that!
ReplyDeleteWeaving ends in is the most tiresome part of any project but luckily I can weave in the beginning of each square as I knit and then only have to worry about the ending bit of yarn. Still ends to do, but only half as many! It's another of those projects that makes the RC raise his eyebrows and shake his head...my one goal in life is to befuddle that man...hee hee.
DeleteFun and colorful, good work there
ReplyDeleteJackets seem to be the trend, the cute and boxy style.

Definitely colourful!
DeleteYour mitered squares are really moving right along;))) this will be a lovely, colorful blanket!! Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYes, it's certainly going to be colourful!! Good mindless project for in front of the tv at night.
DeleteI love the colours!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun choosing which ones to put on next, for sure.
DeleteYour sock yarn squares are coming right along. Befuddling our mates is half the fun of being married.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I've been befuddling that poor man for nearly 48 years so you'd think he'd be used to it by now!
DeleteI love the idea of crocheting squares, like granny squares. But I just can't get my head around the idea of putting them together. So I just stick to straight back and forth crocheting. Your blanket is going to look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI made up my mind that I would sew in any ends as I go alongl Leaving it until the end would just be too overwhelming. I like granny squares too - but don't want to deal with all the ends.
DeleteWow! your knitted piece is fabulous....wool patchwork!
ReplyDeleteYes, it does remind me of patchwork. Didn't think of that until a friend pointed it out.
