Some Blankets!

Just time for a really REALLY quick post before class; I am alive, now in Indianapolis, and busy on these blankets!


These are my Noro log cabin squares: they look a bit wonky to me, but wow, they look great layed out in a photo, if I say so myself!

And this is my Log Cabin Baby blanket for a friend who is expecting in Feb. It is Malabrigo and truly is the softest, squooshiest fabric ever! (I am following in JanuaryOne's cybertrail; this is a random number blanket. See her site (http://www.januaryone.com/archives/chance_v1/) for info on how to do it!)

Yaaaay! Enjoy the advent of fall everyone!

Oh, gorgeous, and quite inspiring. Fall is a beautiful time of year, a great time to knit more than ever!! Blankets come to mind as winter lurks around the next corner. Keep on knitting, great work so far!!
 
Both are super gorgeous. I love Malabrigo. It is for sure the softest yarn I have ever worked with - just make sure to tell your friend not to wash it! That will felt in a heartbeat.
 
Thanks!

Ok, the main site is simply www.januaryone.com. The archives with the "chance blanket" posts are here: http://www.januaryone.com/archives/chance_v1/

It's really very cool.
 
Wow, those are both going to be gorgeous!!
 
Hey! I live in Indianapolis, too, and I am also making a blanket from Noro (a miter, though). Must be something in the water. :)
 
ok maybe i am the only one here that hasn;t heard of malabrigo, but i just think it is beautiful. is there a specific one you are using. i found their website and noticed that they have more than one line. the colors are just beautiful! i also love the noro log cabins. just wonderful! thanks for the info.
 
I am using the "normal" Malabrigo, I believe it's a worsted weight. I have some laceweight, but lace charting is a bit of a stretch for me still. All the Malabrigo in the blanket is from the Mass Ave store - I go there waaaay too much!
