Three days, two squares - this could be looking good! We'll see what the next days (and weeks, and months...) bring....

Yes, yes, yes, the grey matter surrounding the yarn is indeed a FO! The cabeled bag turned out to be perfect as container for this mitered square blanket (well, at least the beginning of it!)

details:

yarn: topp t tå from Gjestal spinneri

needles: 5 mm circular

pattern: this here. (feel free to drop me a line if the language looks too peculiar...;-))

modifications: i made cabeled handles and attatced them in a slightly different spot.

The main drive to knit this in the first place was really to give it a go with this yarn. I was curious as to wether it could be usable for the lace leaf pullover or not. I made a swatch and it looked quite fine - but maybe a bit too loose and airy. I remembered I had some left-over Eskimo somewhere, I found it and made another swatch. Even though the yardage/weight is very similar in these two yarns the swatches turned out very different - by far in favour of the Eskimo.

Two pieces are working their ways toward the final grafting...

And now I have to work my way over to the couch for some serious knitting and compatible activity...

And finally, the thank you part - gee - it's good to finally have it in writing!!:

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts any strange habits you may have. What color green are you?
