Now look what you’ve done

This is a photo of all of the squares that have been submitted for the Spring 2007 Gracious Parcels blankets.

And here is a photo of me with the first Gracious Parcels blanket, completed during the 2006 Holiday Season (Gracious Parcels 2006).

For more details and photos of the new squares, go to the Spring 2007 page I just set up.

Best to you all,

Box Stitch

As requested by Pam:

Box Stitch

The box stitch looks the same on both sides and lies flat. You work this pattern on a mulitple of 4 stitches plus 2 ( 6, 10, 14, and so on).

1. Row 1 (right side): Knit 2, *purl 2, knit 2; repeat from * to end of row.
2. Row 2 (wrong side): Purl 2, *knit 2, purl 2; repeat from * to end of row.
3. Row 3: Repeat row 2.
4. Row 4: Repeat row 1.
5. Repeat rows 1-4 for box stitch.

Contribution

Here is a picture of the squares we (Lora and I) contributed to the Gracious Parcels project. Firefly’s project inspired us to start a local project for blankets for a local Habitat for Humanity project.

The blankets are done and we deliver them next week.
I really enjoy reading firefly’s website/blogs and am really looking forward to exchanging posts with other knitters.
I am going to go back and carefully study the patterns provided when I get a minute. Tonight is a blur of activity but I want to post a quick hello to everyone.
