Squares
I've finally decided to use up some of my ever-expanding yarn stash and make myself that blanket I've been promising myself.
Yes, it's a little small now, but it'll grow. :)
I'm using up my unexplained giant stash of sportweight mercerized cotton. And while it's giant, I still won't have enough to make a blankie for myself. I've got about 8-10 skeins in kind of this range of colors, and I'm thinking of edging each square with white, then edging the whole thing in white. Or maybe cream. Or tan. Or whatever I can get in enough quantity at a low price when the time comes. :)
If you happen to have any sportweight mercerized cotton you'd like to donate to the cause, I'd love to have it. So far, I've got Reynolds' Saucy Sport (hard on the fingers and the hand, but just fine for looks), and Schachenmayr Catania (absolutely lovely to work with, but perhaps not produced anymore, sadly).
I hope I will be posting updates on this. If I don't, please ask me to make me feel guilty. :)

Jess, I have a full skein (no wrapper) of Sinfonia in light pink, also one in a light sage green. I also have a skein of Patons DK (same size as the Sinfonia) in the fuschia-it's 100% mercerized cotton-I bought it in Bermuda, so it's a UK brand and 80% of the same dye lot of the Patons-if you would like them.
Please email me your mailing addy (yes again, I switched computers and lost a lot in the switch).

I think your blankie will be pretty!
Looks like it will be a fun blanket!
Oh BTW how are the girls and Spike?
