Chief Procrastinator
See - this is why I don't have a blog (I've actually started 3, but gave up!) I just can't be trusted to post on a regual basis - making this KAL a wonderful idea for folks like me!!
I actually finished the mitre square blankie 3 weeks ago! I even took these pictures at the time, but never got round to connecting the camera to the computer to download them! Sheesh!
Anyway - here we are at the layout stage.....
A wee close up of my mattress stitching - with all ends sewn neeatly in (boy did I feel a sense of acomplishment when this was finished!)
And a shot of the aformentioned ends! Does anyone have a small rodent who desperatley needs a nest?
Here we have the obligatory cat photo (we just can't have a photo of knittin without some kitten!)
And last, but not least, the finished article - well not quite - since taking this photo I have (say it quietly) crocheted a border on - I just couldn't face the thought of millions and trillions of stitches all squished together on my circular needles that i figured crochet was the way to go. I'll see if I can manage to post a picture, including border, later this week (but I'm not promising anything!!)
I've also completed a couple of ball band dishcloths so I might even manage a pic or two of them!

Thanks Lois! I had loads and loads of cheap acrylic stuffed in a cupboard from a phase my niece and nephew went through of demanding Auntie knit them clowns and stuffed animals (most from the Jean Greenhowe pattern books), so thought this would be just the ticket to get rid of it!
I'm already considering another one in cotton, it was so easy to knit - i love the fact that once you get half way through a square it's almost finished!

Just wondeful! Congratulations on this finished blanket! I love the colors. Now, please send it over to me!
Love it, just love it! It is just as beautiful on the back as it is on the front. Can't wait to see the border; don't procrastinate too long!
I love the look of the miter square blankets, but I doubt mine would ever get sewn together. I still recall the one granny square blanket I made and vowed to never do again. But your blanket is so pretty. hmmmm
Wow, the sewn in ends are the most 'specially impressive part! The back of mine will never be photographed.
Your miters line up so well!!! Your knitting is soooo nice. The blanket looks beautiful. I think it's about the best mitered blanket I've seen yet. Be proud :)
Oh, it's beautiful! I'm wondering if I could do the same thing with my TONS of cheap acrylic yarn (hand-me-downs), and then NOT sew in the ends and "quilt" it with a full-sized sheet or something.... Has anyone done that? The ends and the expense (if I didn't use acrylic) are what are holding me back...
That's a totally amazing blanket! The colors are awesome, and I've very impressed with all the mattress stitching (not my favorite thing to do).
