Yes, that's what I've been doing in the last 13 days. Actually, I also did more - like my Print o' the Wave, which I did 10 repeats of. But this is where most of my knitting attention went to. I went so crazy with the squares my hands cramped up and I had to take a break from knitting altogether.
My grandma recently had a stroke, and I decided to go ahead and try and knit a blanket for her... so this is my effort. I'm not quite sure how big I want to make it yet... either 4x5 or 3x5. The squares are pretty big. And I want the blanket to be kind of a throw, not really a massive quilt. I guess I'll reconsider when I get to 15 squares.
Most of the yarn used is just stash yarn. I pulled out all the worsted yarns I owned and picked out colors I thought went together. There's Wool-Ease, some archaic grey wool and acryllic blend (from my mum, when she used to knit), and brown and natural Cascade 220.
As I was knitting though, it occurred to me I did not have enough for the blanket. So I went to go get more brown and natural. I came back with a whole lot more than just Cascade.
14 balls of Cascade Luna to knit the 1824 Blouson in the new IK. I REALLY love that pattern and I REALLY love the color. I can't wait to knit it.
Oh, I also go this cute little guy, partially because I was in need of a measuring tape, but mostly because he was just so cute.
