I know, I’ve been remiss on the blankie Fridays. It’s because not a whole lot has been going on in Blankie-land. There may be a new square or two since the last update, but I’ve been busy catching up on the other projects that I ignored for so long while I was doing the crazy-major-blankie push. Once I realized that Blankie wasn’t going to make it to the State Fair this year, I gave myself permission to take a little break. I’m getting right back to it here soon – I do want to get it finished just so that it can be done and over with.
That said, there is some fresh blankie-related news. I got an e-mail while I was on vacation from a knitting magazine in Australia. They want to include my blankie in an article about using up scrap yarn to be published in October. Yay!
Also, I’ll be teaching a class on the blankie – or really, mitered square projects – you could just make a scarf, or you could turn the idea into a sweater – at the Yarnery starting in November. That sample I’ve been working up is a little teeny koigu blankie. It’s not done yet, but it will be soon.
In other news, Season Two of Weeds so far is hilarious. If you haven’t Netflixed this series yet, I recommend it.
Also, I spent a couple of hours tonight dyeing up some more yarn. It’s still cooling off in the steamer. Photos tomorrow, maybe. I am planning to sell this stuff eventually, and there will be an announcement here before I put it up so that people can have a fair chance at buying some.
Today was a much better day. Thanks for all your kind thoughts today, they helped.
I just watched season two of Weeds tonight. Loved it. Blankie looks wonderful. Congrats on the article!
That blankie looks good! Congrats on article!! Wendy Johnson from Wendyknits.net did a mitered sweater a while ago. Here’s the link if you want to see it.

Hope your feeling better!!
Glad your day was better. Hope you have a great weekend! The blankie is beautiful! Being the slow knitter that I am, I shall not try anything of that magnitude any time soon!
Congrats on being included in a magazine article! Wow!
I’ve finished two more squares on my blanket this week, but I haven’t taken a new photo yet. I think today I’ll work on getting a few of the ends woven in during slow periods at the souvenir booth I’m working at.
