This month is going to be making Log Cabin Squares

If you don't have the book that's ok...this site here will give you the instructions on how to make one ...Just scroll down to the Log Cabin Entry

http://www.masondixonknitting.com/archives/2004_02.html

I hope you all have a fun making the squares and I can't wait to see them. I have never made them so this will be very new to me

I"m in... I've been meaning to get some odds and ends of yarn finished up and i'm not on anything, smoking anything, or drinking anything good enough to get me to do a mitered square afghan for my king size bed (still working on that crib size one....)

Lack of sleep last night is making it hard to do anything complicated so I'm going to work on this today!

I've been thinking on a variation since the yarn I'm going to use I don't think I'm going to like in garter st. Will let you know how it goes once I start it.

I've got quite a bit done..it's maybe 12 or 13 in square now. I am going to keep going till the yarn runs out. Not sure what I'll do with it though.

Pix later today.

Here's the square so far. The colors are off a little and I don't have my photo software installed on this new computer, but you get the idea.

Anyway the turquoise, purple and hot pink are Simply Soft Brites, the gray/tan color is Vanna's Choice, and the black is Plymouth Encore worsted.

Thats looks great, you have just given me an idea what to do for a blanket for my two year old daughter. I have some simply brites in my stash I will have to get out for this.
