I finally finished Miss P’s blanket.
I have been working on this blanket (mostly monogamously) for 18 months. I am super keen to knit some socks!
The pattern is the Moderne Log Cabin from MDK (published in Mason Dixon knitting). I made a mistake, and then just continued adding rectangles until it reached the size I wanted. I used Classic 8ply yarn from Bendigo (superwash) in the following colours (you can see all of the colours in the top image)

A year in the making I finally finished my Log Cabin Moderne Blanket for Miss A.
It’s double bed size.
I finished it on the 31st Of October 2021 – started in November 2020
Miss P wants the same, but in purple. I have ordered the yarn, but the white is on back order at Bendigo. The other colours have been sent, but haven’t arrived yet. Once they arrive, I will think about re-jigging the colour scheme.

This is a great TV watching project; I can even watch shows with subtitles.
I am finding picking up the stitches is slow (I might need pointier needles), but the rest of the time it is very meditative.

I am still working on my Moderne Log Cabin.
I am watching Stephanie Pearl-McPhee’s Best Practices series on Patreon. Definitely worth it, I have learnt heaps.

Progress is slow, but steady on my Moderne Log Cabin.
I have finished watching Schitt’s Creek and both seasons of Derry Girls and am now watching Dickinson.

I have been (unusually) a monogamous knitter. I started working on this blanket in early December and apart from a brief flirtation with my November sock (while I was on Rottnest Island) I have knitted only this.
This is all garter stitch and it is easy to get into a lovely rhythm and just want to do ‘one more row’.
I have been watching television series
I have also been listening to podcasts. My current favourite is Cast On by Brenda Dayne. She has a lovely voice. Her podcast is about all sorts of creative endeavours.

I wanted to make something that my girls could keep to remember me by if the worse happens. I decided on the Moderne Log Cabin from the Mason Dixon knitting book. I am using shades of blue and cream from Bendigo Woollen Mills – it is the classic 8ply (I wanted something that could be machine washed).
I am using 4mm needles (an addi circular one).
I picked the stitches up on the edge using the Yarn Harlot’s tutorial – I did knit into the back of each stitch once I had picked them all up.
