Winter Break

A few months ago, the designing gig was beginning to feel more like work and less like fun, so I decided to take a break so I wouldn’t burn out.

I had a few designs to work on commission for some magazines, sock clubs and whatnot, but I still needed some knitting to fill my time. I decided I needed something incredible simple that would give me a constant sense of accomplishment, but I also wanted something substantial.

I had seen The Heathen Housewife’s Blankie of sock yarn, and decided to start one of my own.  Mitered squares on size 0 needles.  Oh joy!

This project is reminding me of the importance of blogging regularly, or at least putting projects into Ravelry as soon as I start.  I can’t remember when I cast on, so I don’t know how long I’ve been working on this.  Probably close to two months.

I love how the squares resemble farmland.
