I started this blanket way back in January 2007 when I was on one of my brainless knitting searches. It was lots of fun until one row on a side took half an hour. So I decided yesterday to finish it off. It's big enough, 44 x 44 inches, heavy and warm. Fortunately I'd woven in most of the ends as I went along, so once the binding off was done, it was just a matter of a few loose ends and it was done! There is instructions for Log Cabin Blanket in the first Mason-Dixon book, and one on the internet. Once the technique is learned, possibilities are, of course, endless. This scrap-ghan is a good use of left over partial skeins.

Charity Knitting Again
It's time to pick up my Charity knitting. I am moderating a group on Knittinghelp.com and on Ravelry to make Log Cabin baby blankets for charity. It's a round robin type group. Each of us starts the center portion, mails it to the next one in line. That knitter adds a portion and mails it on. As it makes the rounds it grows larger and larger till it's done. (If you'd
like to join us, just let me know.)
This pic is of my own Log Cabin. It's been alive for a long time now and still isn't finished. Makes a good brainless knitting project.
I finished my first two squares for the 2008 L
og Cabin knitting. Some of us are doing both knitted and crocheted blankets. Sometime around mid January I'll mail these out to the next person on the list.
I also worked some on my Tomten Jacket. I'm just about done with the skein of variegated yarn so will have to add a different color to go along with the pink strand. I have about 5 ridges to do before creating the arm holes. I understand how to do all of it, except adding the sleeves, so hopeful I can get someone that's done it before to add some explanation to EZ and Meg's instructions.
Today we're heading out to the movies: National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Reviews aren't that good, but hey, Nick Cage.... It can't be all bad. One review said it was a throwback to the family entertainment reminiscent of the '80s. I can live with that!
