Mitering Along

The miter-fest continues over at Chez Supergirl.



I finished up two more miters which meant I finished another big square. I now have 4 big squares finished and only about a million to go. Luckily I really like making miters.

Mitering



Last night I layed out my mitered squares to contemplate the color arrangement. I'm using Kay's No-Sew method which means I have to think a little bit. OK a lot and then steam blows out my head!



I am really enjoying this process. I like finishing something everyday even if it is just a small mitered square. Some days I finish TWO!



This will be a much loved blanket once it is complete but I know that I have a long road to hull. I currently have 14 squares and I need 80 which means I am 17% complete or that I still have to knit 83% more on this blanket. That's a lot of knitting.



I even took some time last night to lay out the squares so that I know what colors to tackle next. Here is the potential layout:



Swell looking!

Miter Madness

Last year some time I started working on my Mitered Square blanket and I knit up about 4 squares before drifting off to another project. Then earlier this month, Cara began posting about her obsession with mitered squares and my interest was re-engergized.



And so I began knitting mitered squares again but then I realized that I was just grabbing at colors and I wanted to be more thoughtful in my color selection. So last night I took the wad of colors and began winding.



A short time later, my yarn was wound up (I still need about 20 more skeins but what I had was done) and I could review yarn colors in a more thoughtful manner.



And some Friday Eye Candy for the dog lovers, here is Poochi posing with her ball for me.
