I finished the mystery swap project, and I have 90% of the goodies that will be mailed with it. I just need some edible goodies and off it will go. If you’re stalking my Ravelry projects and you just NEED TO KNOW what it looks like- you can find pictures of it under Jack’s jar of dirt. 😀
What’s on my needles:
1. Scrap Blanket
Squares 3 and 4 completed:
It will start looking more blanket-like, once I get more rows. I have decided to make it around 3/4ths size (or 48 inches by 75 inches). So I will need two more squares for the width (for a total of 54 inches wide), and then I can start building the length. I estimate that I will need a total of nine rows, so I will need a total of 54 squares. And a border.
2. Stitches South Class Swatches
I plan to make about 7 more of these in different styles. Probably a few stockinette ones so I can get a handle on seaming fabric that rolls…
And the usual suspects:
3. Hubby socks
4. Flax sweater
That swatch is really, really cool looking!
I hear that it’s the way you’re supposed to knit Gauge swatches, so they’ll lay flat. Have a border of garter stitch or seed stitch, and then have the six inches or so of stockinette (or your pattern) in the middle.
Humph…I would never think to put a border on a swatch. I think it makes a very cool looking granny square! You could do a whole blanket like that!
I’ve actually toyed with the idea of doing that. With that empty middle and nice border- it would be great to put letters and spell out things. Like for a kiddie blanket…
That’s a really cool idea!
