Holiday

I'm currently on holiday in New Zealand. I have bought some yarn for my stash. I will return to my squares when I get home.

2 - Sunshine

Sunshine is a nice bright yellow square. Unfortunately my wireless internet is being tempremental so I can't upload a photo right now.

1 - Rainbow Paddlepop

This square reminds me of a rainbow paddlepop. If only it tasted that good.

After some trial and error I discovered that 22 stitches on my number 8 needles gave me 12 cm to a row. The rainbow yarn is one of the bigger balls in my blanket stash so no doubt there will be more variations on this. Any ideas? I was thinking some stripes, maybe with some yellow yarn.

In case anyone is interested it is an acrylic. Nothing fancy about it.

100 Blanket Squares

I am a supporter of Doggie Rescue and read in their latest newsletter that theywould like 12 cm x 12 cm knitted squares which will be turned into blankets. Following in the footsteps of 365 Knitted Hats I have set myself the goal of knitting 100 Blanket Squares. My abosulte goal is one year which would be 8 April 2011 but I hope to finish earlier.

I grabbed a plastic tub, six part-used balls of yarn from my stash and a pair of size 8 knitting needles. Once a yarn is finished I will choose a replacement yarn from my stash. The Cleckheaton ball band was tucked inside the blue yarn.

I am happy for people to make colour and stitch pattern suggestions.
