Seaming! W00t!

We've got the makings of a blanket! Thanks, everyone, for answering the call so quickly. Once Suzette's squares arrive on Tuesday, we'll be all set for blanketdom!

Started the seaming last night - I'm starting by making horizontal strips, if that makes sense. We'll seam in one direction first, and then attach the strips together. That way, there is still a little wiggle room as far as placement, and things won't get too unwieldy.

Meg has pictures. : )

ETA: If you are already working on a square, keep going! We can just make the blanket that much longer! Wheee!

We Can Haz Yarnz?

There's almost a full skein of white (Chalk, 9700)
Ballet Pink (9710) almost a full skein.
Raspberry Coulis (9717) 1.75 skeins.
Rosebud(9723) I'm working on a square with this one and there's more than a full skein left-over.
Dried Plum (9780) Only enough yarn for a little color work.

THen we have what I think is Berry Mix and Nosegay mix. Small quantities of each if somebody wants to make a little log cabin square.

It Is Crunch Time!

This blanket project needs your help!! We NEED 9 more squares to make a blanket. Preferably in lightest pink, and the reds (have a look at the photo two posts down if you need a visual). I'm sewing some of the squares together starting Saturday, but if we want this to be a lap blanket and not a toe warmer, we'll need some more pieces.

I'll make another in the medium red colour, so that's 1 down, 8 to go. Who else?

Left Overs?

Does anyone have left overs of Comfort? I can make some more squares.

Updated Squares!


Here are the squares we have so far. It needs one or two more rows, don't you all think? What about colour, what do you think? So far, so beautiful!

Also, I want to make a note that weaving in ends isn't necessary - we can use them to sew the squares together, actually!

Weeee!

I finally made a square yesterday, and it is safely in the hands of Torii. I was in a rush so I don't have a picture, but imagine Mimi's Be My Dishcloth in an off-red. (It may be hard to tell from that shade card, but it really does look okay with the other colors!)

Plenty of yarn leftover, so someone let me know if more are needed or I can contribute some other project to the mission! :)

Squares So Far


Here is what we've got to date. The colour's a bit dark in this photo, but you all get the general idea.
