log cabin with lace
My first post! I've been working away on a log cabin blanket for my best friend who just got married. Using elann.com Sonata - a great yarn! I decided that since I only have three shades each of pink and brown, I would break up the striping with a few green strips and some lace. The idea here with the colors is a rose garden. Does that come through? I hope so. You can click the photo for more views.
I've also, of course, done a few ballband dishcloths and a b.g.b.c. or two. I can't get to any craft stores easily so my supply of dishcloth cotton is limited and precious.
Thanks Kay and Ann for such a beautiful book. I'd put it out on my coffee table, but I don't want anyone to mess it up!

seriously, that is gorgeous! it's a beautiful take on the traditional crayola colors of the log cabin quilts :)
Looks great! I'm curious about the elann.com sonata. I'm planning to make a baby blanket (log cabin) for an expecting relative, and was thinking that the sonata would be a good option. Anything you can tell me about how it is to work, or more importantly, ease of care would be great!
Your's looks lovely! The lace is a wonderful touch.

Wow - I love the colors, and the combination of colors, lace, and the rose theme is really stunning - nicely done!
