I have found the perfect project.
It is small enough to carry around, simple enough to knit while watching TV, colorful enough to make me happy, interesting enough to keep my attention, fun enough that I will not get tired of it, and, best of all, it will use up all those funky little half-balls of fashion yarn and endlessly boring acrylic yarn that people keep giving me.
In a Stash diminishing experiment, I am knitting a blanket. When it is done, it will probably be big enough for a bed, and certainly big enough for a throw.
It will be made of large mitered squares with a gauge of approx. three strands of worsted weight yarn knit together on size 11 circular needles. Every square will be different, the color and texture changing at my whim.
As an added bonus, because of the way I am changing colors, I won't have any ends to weave in, and I don't have to trim the yarn tails, unless I feel like it. Go me!
I've only finished the red square, so far, and am half done knitting a blue square.
After I'm done with the blue, I will move on to another color; pink, green, purple, or yellow. I haven't decided which one, yet.
On another note, I have a new favorite soup; Cheese and Broccoli. Mom found a new recipe for it, and we had on Saturday, with fresh, brick-oven baked brown bread. Yuuuuuuuummmy.....
I also have a couple of new pictcures of Rummy The Teen-Aged Kitten. Like this one:
I'm almost done cleaning my room, and if I don't get it done today, I probably never will. So we shall bid thee farewell, until next time,
