I am not sure how this happened, because I am sure I knit a square each day, but when I went to upload the photos I only have six. I suspect I forgot to take a photo one day and since the squares are all teh same it gets really hard to remember which ones are new.
So here are the six squares for this week, I thought since the yarns are scraps I would say where each was used originally if I can remember.
First up is some hand dyed in my raspberry sauce colourway, I used this to make my B socks for the A-Z sock knitting challenge.
Blue Regia World circus from my R socks
Katia Ole, bought on my birthday trip to the wonderful pizza place and used to make my M socks
Black and turquoise Zauberball, Christmas present 2010, used to make Kai-mei (K sock)
Knitting goddess yarn won on the Palyful day podcast. Used to make Q socks. Love the colours of this.
Knitpicks stroll, used to make my E socks when I tried to make a pair of socks in 24 hours. This is one of my favourite sock yarns, I think I need more.
So six tiny stories and six squares, next week I will try to remember to take the pictures. I have found sewing ends in is not so bad when I do a couple a day, most days I have managed a few.
I love how the blanket is coming along and that you have a story for each square! Very cool and will be so memorable when you're snuggled up under it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a record of all the socks you have knitted, plus the colours are really cool (I love the Zauberball one particularly)
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be lovely and full of memories too.
ReplyDeleteI like the use of the sock yarn! It makes it look...I'm not sure how to call it. It looks a bit vintage because of the sock yarn, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI really like your little stories and your little squares!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fun! Take pix!
ReplyDeleteThe ends!!! The bane of our existence! LOL. Love that red one.
ReplyDeleteI feel inspired!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I love seeing the gradual progress. My sister hands on all her sock yarn remnants to me. What a great way to use them up.
ReplyDeleteLoving the blanket, it has a feeling of inheritance about it with all those stories - lovely!
ReplyDeleteLooking good, I love the mix of colours you've choose.xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat great memories of projects your mitered square blanket will be.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a wonderful blanket, full of all those memories behind each square!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to make a blanket out of sock yarn. Can´t wait to see the whole blanket in the end. Love your stories for every piece!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week! Barbina
Oooh now this is a lovely memory project. I love the little stories. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the sock yarn squares. Would love to do one of these some day.
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeously cute little sqaures! I think your right to join and sew in ends as you go along, it would be such a mammoth task if left till all the squares are finished!

I really really love your little squares and that you remember where all the wool was used. Your project will be amazing! I really wish i could knit.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're having a great de-stash! I love the little knitted squares, what does the whole thing look like?
