Noro Log Cabin!
This is my first post...even though I have made many a warshrag and burpcloths...this log cabin using Noro Kureyon in color 154 is my best work yet. I am making this for my Brother (he and his wife are expecting a baby girl in September). I am thinking of lining it w/flannel so that one side will be soft for the baby...any thoughts on how to keep the two sides together? Oh, and I do plan on washing (not felting) first so that any shrinkage occurs before lining. I would welcome any suggestions people have!# posted by Unknown @ 6:41 PM

The current size is almost a yard square and has about 5 and 1/3 skeins knitted (I bought 8 skeins). Thanks for all your nice comments and thanks Annie for your suggestions...it may be dangerous for me to go into a quilting store. I may come out with a new hobby!
Absolutely gorgeous.
As per the backing, I didn't use flannel, but I backed a knitted backgammon board with plain cotton using my sewing machine, a triple stitch and a larger needle. It was not fun, but the finished product was cute. I just had to be sure to go slooooow and not stretch the knitted fabric as I went. (When I say slow- it took my two hours to do a 16x30' backing. When I was done, I thought it would probably have been easier and less stressful to just blanket stitch by hand....)

When I first saw this blanket, I started mumbling incoherant sounds resembled oohs and ahhs.
This is absolutely beautiful!
