I am feverishly working on a blanket that is headed to the state fair if I finish it in time. If my SIL is having a baby girl, then it will also be a gift for her/her hubby/new baby….if they are having a boy, I have an idea for his blanket that I’ll begin in Aug.(after fair submission deadline). I am learning a TON and hope the blanket turns out as I’ve imagined it will. :). So far, I think only one square of the blanket really could use a re-work and luckily it was one of the easy ones.
I looked at the winners of the Vanna’s Choice contest and am definitely inspired to use more color than I had first planned….or really more than I was using b/c I was getting so irritated with the colorwork. So, I’ve got my second wind on that and finished 2 multi-colored squares this weekend. This brings the square count to 4 solid squares done and 4 (really 5 because one is double-wide) multi-colored squares done. There will be 16 squares total and a border. I have tons of other things I’m looking forward to working on, but I’m forcing myself to focus on this. Thank goodness for a deadline. :)
In other news, I saw a preview for a show in the CW fall lineup called Vampire Diaries and while it is probably inspired by the Twilight craze, I’m really looking forward to it. I caught up on True Blood this weekend while I was knitting up a storm. :)
