Granny Square finished

I'm done. I'm not too crazy about this piece but . . . oh well. It's finished!

Liberation Reborn

The multicolored piece has been in the trunk of my car for quite sometime. Well, I was cleaning out my trunk because I'm going home tomorrow and decided to bring it in. I didn't feel like making it a blanket because I really wasn't in love with the crazy colors. Yet, 30 minutes later, it became a scarf. Done. Now, it's home will be in the closet until the three days that are Winter-like here in Houston decide to show up.

Granny Square

Well, I am trying something new. I abandoned both of my last two projects. So, here's the start of my Granny Square blanket. This one will be for a baby.

Yeah, but I've decided to abandon this project. It is turning out to be a little too "free" for me. So much for liberation.

Liberation

Well, I have some scraps left over from my last project
So, I am creating a crazy colors blanket.
Waste not, want not.
There is no pattern.
No color scheme.
Just freedom.
No rules.

6,558 stitches


I think this blanket turned out well.
It's my favorite, actually.
Of all the projects I've worked on, the stitches on this one are the best.
They're very accurate and the lines are almost perfect.
All in all, I am pleased.

There are 155 stitches in each row and 38 rows

155 x 38 =5,890

There are 4 rows of trim and 3 extra stitches in each corner (12)

155 +12 =167 x 4= 668

668 + 5,890 = 6,558 stitches

Always an error


I am working on a project right now, a baby blanket, of course. It isn't going to be one that matches the room, just an everyday blanket (if there is such a thing). This one is actually more for a toddler; it is much larger that my last oblong blanket. Anyway, I loved it initially. Then I realized, half way through it, that the white yarn I was using was two different shades. That's what I get for buying yarn from different places. I didn't even notice it initially. Anyway, I decided to go ahead and finish it. What the hell. It's still a blanket, even if the colors are a little off. It is actually the best one I've made so far, as far as stitches are concerned.
*Pictures of the finished product coming soon. I should be done by tomorrow.
