Gettin' It Done

I finished sewing up one of the blankets for the Grandmother Purl Project. At first, I was overwhelmed by the different colors, but remembered a color theory (quilting) class that I took, and was able to organize the squares into rows.

Here's the completed blanket. It took an entire day to put together. It's done and ready to be mailed.


Also completed this week is a second pair of "Big Black Socks" for Socks for Soldiers. It's a size 11/12 Men's pair. Also including some sock yarn for the donation basket. Ready to go! As Sarge (Kim) says, Get R Done!


It's time to have the morning coffee, clean the house, do laundry, and get ready for Easter! Happy Knitting!

Grandmother Purl Afghan

Over the weekend, I received a package of squares from Kristy of Grandmother Purl's Afghan. The first afghan was put together and given to Grandmother Purl, and the remaining squares are being assembled into two additional blankets for friends of Grandmother Purl by Cathy(me) and Ruth. Interested to see if your square was part of the package? See the flickr set on the sidebar for photographs of each of the squares.

The squares will be assembled 6 wide x 6 long, and there will be one square leftover. I've already laid out the squares and decided on a layout, but that will remain a mystery for now. Wish me luck, as the afghan that Kristy put together looks great!
