of squares and such

after much wrangling with the armhole decreases, the back is completed! this project makes me very, very happy! for more carla news, check out the carla-along blog. email me if you would like to join us!

in other knitting news, there is the problem of squares:

i knit these log cabin squares some 6 years ago. i was excited to knit enough for an afghan and then, like all things afghan related, i lost my steam. i coaxed them ouf of hiding yesterday, gave them the once over and decided that they deserve a second (well, actually it's more like a fourth or fifth) chance. i've gathered up some scraps and i hope to begin a new square today. i'll be moving in a month or two, so i'm considering this as a housewarming present to myself. i think i'll put out my gee's bend book and look for a bit of inspiration.

How big are they? If you knitted up 5 more you could make a funky cushion cover. Why knit an afgan when you could make a cover and have time left over to make a poncho or somefing?

That Gee's Bend quilting book is amazing. I stumbled upon it last winter and I never tire of looking through it. That book should keep you inspired!
