Greetings and cotton fleece Log Cabin
Hey all! This is my Log Cabin in progress, made from Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. I know it's supposed to be hand-wash only, but I just liked the colors and the nice squashiness of the yarn too much. I'll deal with washing it somehow! So far I have four 12x12" squares done and sewn together, and I love the way it's turning out. Sewing as I go seems a lot easier than waiting until they're all done, especially since my boyfriend has been saying (only half-jokingly) that he'll be pulling the blanket over to him as I knit it. Heh. I've been trying to stick to a one-square-per-week rate, but I'm not doing very well. Hopefully I'll have a full blanket by January or February!

I've machine washed a top (Green Gable) made with Cotton Fleece several times now, and it's worked just fine. Cold water, delicate cycle, and you're good to go!
I oohed and aahed so much over this, my husband actually asked - from the next room - what I was looking at! It's unbelievably lovely. I can't wait to start a Log Cabin!
Thanks so much for the washing suggestions (and the nice comments)! I was thinking about washing and shrinkage, but dye running hadn't even occurred to me.
