The Liam Blankie!
What you are looking at is almost 80 little mitered squares...the blanket is almost finished!! The blank spots in the afghan are where the green squares will go. (those are the ones that I'm responsible for...oops!) I'll write more later, I'm headed to the yarn shop and a knitting group! Have a great weekend!
Wow, looks great! Makes me want to start an afghan!
Wow! That looks amazing - what a wonderful gift!
Posted by: Jenn at June 2, 2006 05:46 PMIt looks great so far!
Posted by: silverarrowknits at June 2, 2006 06:00 PMWow! It makes me want to start one too. It's beautiful. Can't wait to see it when it's all put together.
Posted by: Michelle at June 2, 2006 06:45 PMWhoa. That seemed to happen really, really fast. Looks wonderful!
Posted by: wenders at June 2, 2006 07:59 PMCool!
Posted by: Chris at June 2, 2006 08:53 PMThe blanket looks AWESOME!! I'm making a mitred square blanket too, but it's a lot more psycho because I'm just using a bunch of single skeins I have in my stash. I love the look with the more limited palette, though!!
Posted by: Renee at June 2, 2006 11:20 PMLooks great! looks HUGE! Fabulous. Can you knit all the green squares in one weekend? I'm not sure that I could....
Posted by: suzanne at June 3, 2006 05:23 AMOh my gosh that blanket is amazing!! How long has it taken you? Where's the pattern from?? I love it!!
Sorry I couldn't be there last night- stupid final. But hopefully I'm done for good now!
Posted by: Kristina at June 3, 2006 07:57 AMohhhh its looking grrrrrrrreat!
The green is my favourite!
Wow, that blanket is gorgeous. It's all brownand! Gotta love that. I think Auntie Stacey had better get cracking, not too much longer to cook in that oven!
Posted by: Wanda at June 3, 2006 08:57 AMThat's gonna be one amazing afghan!
Posted by: katie at June 3, 2006 01:07 PMLOL, wanda's right... the bun's time in the oven is about up! The blanket is stunning... can't wait to see it all seamed up.

Posted by: Sheryl at June 5, 2006 11:20 AMAbsolutely beautiful! I am working on a blanket using bright granny squares out of Lion Microspun, but I got the MD book and have had a change of heart, I'd much rather work on the mitered squares! Great color combos!
Posted by: Jill at June 5, 2006 11:29 AMThat is going to be so stinkin cute! Can't wait to see the finished item. Think you'll get those squares done in time? :D
Posted by: Michelle at June 5, 2006 02:37 PMWow! I guess I will be knitting my afghann squares for a LOOOONG time! How long have you been working on this?
Posted by: Dana at June 5, 2006 05:00 PMThanks for all your help this weekend. The blanket is going to be so great when we sew it up! I'm not sure who will enjoy it more, Liam or Mommy. Don't worry about the green squares, between you and Drew and I they'll get done. You've been an integral part of getting it done!
Posted by: Whit at June 5, 2006 05:14 PMAmazing! They look terrific! Nicely done!

Posted by: Jenifer at June 7, 2006 08:16 AMThe blanket is looking great. I have had a great time catching up on your blog. I've been in Europe for 26 days so I have a lot of reading to do!
