Rules
The mitered squares blanket I'm knitting is following the pattern from the Mason Dixon knitting book. By the way, this book has a whole lot of awesome ideas and patterns. I only wish I bought the book earlier. The blanket consists of 80 small squares. Four small squares equals one big square, so there are twenty big squares. I decided on some color rules, so that the blanket will have some consistency to it. Each big square will have the same background color. Each big square will also have two identical squares. This is to help me limit the colors in the blanket. There will be no rule specifying that they must be placed diagonally or next to each other- that will be up to me. I finished my first square and it's been lightly blocked. I'm pretty happy with the way it looks.
edit: This week I will have knitted 8 little squares. After this week my goal will be to knit 6 little squares per week. I'm hoping to have this done before it starts to get cold. I also would like to make some time to knit other things. I've only just finished clue 2 for MS3 so I'm quite behind (Clue 5 is getting posted tomorrow). I will post a picture of this soon. I also have started stockinette socks for my mom in Seacoast Panda.
