An abundance of squares (part 4)
Posted by: Vicky on: 7 September, 2008
And yet more squares… (I’m omitting ones which are repeats of previous ones in different colours)
Square with diagonal eyelet panels
Cross stitch diamond square
Stocking stitch square with lace panel
Can’t remember what this one is, but it was from a stitch pattern book, rather than doing the magazine one.
Fair-isle pattern
I really like this one.

Nearly there…
The last square here was meant to be yet another stocking stitch and diamond square so I chose another stitch pattern, which I really like, but I can’t remember what it was called or how it went!
Spare swatches?

Simply Knitting magazine gave all their spare swatches to The Alzheimer’s Society in Doncaster, who used them to make blankets for Alzheimer’s patients.
If you’ve got any spare swatches, then it sounds like the Alzheimer’s Society would gladly receive them. They can be sent to: Jill, Alzheimer’s Society, 1st Floor, 58 Balby Road, Balby, [...]
Seed stitch square
Posted by: Vicky on: 25 February, 2007
This is the 7th square for the blanket. It’s basically stocking stitch but you do an occassional purl stitch when you are on a knit row. Quite a subtle effect.
How I made it:
CO 27 sts on 4.5mm needles
1st row: Knit
2nd row: Purl
3rd row: K4, *p1, k5, rep from * to last 5 sts, [...]

ARGH!! What is it about switching between different colour yarns that I don’t get? This is the next square for the blanket, but again I had to unpick it 3 times before I got it correct.
I think that I’m quite a tight knitter anyway, and everytime I tried to do the heart, I [...]
More blanket squares
Posted by: Vicky on: 14 February, 2007
If I do a square a week, it’s going to take 90 weeks to finish it – and that’s a lot of issues of the Art Of Knitting magazine to buy. So Mum bought me a book on Monday with some other ideas for squares. I just need to get some yarn in [...]

More knitting… I started a blanket last night after getting a copy of “The Art of Knitting” magazine. It will be made up of lots of small squares with various patterns on
Small mishap though – my first square turned out slightly smaller than the pattern said it would. Oh well!
But other than that – it [...]
