Looking forward to seeing your progress - I've really enjoyed learning the hexies pattern, and as I'm using left-over yarn it will be a great stash-buster project for me!Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278566548355871221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4823072828140599817.post-90221450990133463862015-03-10T14:47:52.640-05:002015-03-10T14:47:52.640-05:00You must be having nicer weather than we are if yo...You must be having nicer weather than we are if you're working outside. It is rainy cold and damp here with no sign of any sunshine....very unusual for this area. We're usually in the 60's by now. I have yard work to do too. With the snow gone it just stares at me every time I look outside! LOL!<br />I would teach you although I am not a good teacher at all. I hope you have a great time at St. George's and I hope those cactus are blooming when you get there!

I...Wow, that's lots of progress on many fronts! I'm happy to see your squares blanket grow, it looks so warm and squishy. I must make one someday :)<br /><br />I'm also, kind of unofficially, joining the BAL with Cherry Heart. I haven't posted anywhere yet because I'm not sure I will be able to keep going, but I've picked up a baby ripple blanket out of Stylecraft and am enjoying it. The JAYG method is really nifty and saves time! But as you said before, you have to be quite sure of your color placement.Ylvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12866911753994734763noreply@blogger.com
