does that mean to pass the slipped stitch over the k2tog?

Exactly. You'll knit two together, and then you'll pass the slipped stitch over the resulting stitch from the K2tog.

I started my first square today! It would have been sooner but I have alot on my knitting plate, hehe. I'm hoping to get 3 done in the next week and send them too you Shandeh. I'm thinking I'll do all 3 in the same color so you could put them in the same blanket, or not, whatever your wish.

Its been fun to work on this one. It is an eyelet zigzag. I didn't want too many eyelets...too many holes for toes to poke thru, lol! But I think this is just right and will add some simple interest to the blanket. The other 2 I'm planning on being straight k and p, in 2 different patterns as yet to be determined. Thanks for this opportunity!

is a pic of it so far! It really isn't as red as its showing, its more of a deep burgandy.

Oh, I love that pattern Rissa.

I haven't done much on my squares yet, I was trying some new patterns and ended up frogging a lot.

I do that alot! You aren't the only one, hehe. Sometimes I like a stitch pattern, knit it up and hate it with the yarn I'm using. I think some of it might be gauge issues. I've tried knitting with a needle suze up and that helps some.

Makes the knitted fabric softer I think.

I've had the same problem too! Makes me so mad when that happens. I'll knit for an inch, and it looks like it's gonna be right. Then I knit for another inch, and I can tell already that it's stretched out bigger.

Your first square is pretty, rissa!

Love your pattern, Rissa.

Shandeh, count me in.

Right now, we have 14 participating knitters.

I just created a blog where we can showcase photos of our squares! http://manycolorsknitting.blogspot.com/

Is it too late to join? I have lots of random yarn with no home, perfect for squares ... And no deadline? I love that! Let me know if you need more knitters, Shandeh.
