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.
