Maggie's Square

DOH! I totally forgot to mention yesterday that while we were at lunch with my in-laws, I received a bunch of yarn and knitting needles from my lovely SIL.  Apparently a friend of hers is a military wife who originally had 3 months to prepare to move, as these things have a habit of occurring with the military, it was changed to 3 weeks.  She had to pack up quick, efficiently and ended up giving up some of stash of yarn and needles.      Not that I need anymore yarn (as I am sure Mr B would agree to), but hello? Free? Need I say more? ;-) I haven't had a chance to take pics yet, so I'll include them in an upcoming post.

So this is the third square I completed, you can find the pattern here.  This particular pattern is not a Ravelry download, so if you hadn't joined to get the other patterns, no worries.  I'm trying to vary the amount of purple from one square to another, but this one I think I went a little overboard, lol. oh well.  Obviously there are a multitude of color combinations someone can use, just using what I have in large quantities. Mr B should be happy in that, yes? *crosses fingers* :-D

Heh, I think this one is backwards too. *snort*


I used Caron's One Pound in Lilac for the middle and Red Heart Super Size in Aran (gifted to me from my MIL in her own stash busting ventures).  The Aran is slightly lighter in weight than the Lilac and in most of them (so far) it hasn't made too much of a difference.  I still need to block them.


I hope you have a fantastic day!

Kata Square

Hi!

Today has been busy.  We had dance class this morning for the littlest Miss B (aka Miss J).  She's been taking ballet/tap for a while, but this semester we added Jazz.  For it being her second class, she's doing very well.  She is also a little younger than the rest, but that hasn't been much of a factor.

Then we scooted off and went across town for Dim Sum with my in-laws. Love me some Dim Sum!   Miss J loves Chinese food as well.  The way that little girl ate, ya'd think we never fed her breakfast! At least she ate, whereas tonight might be a different story.  We are celebrating my mom's birthday this evening with my brothers and their families.  I'm still stuffed from lunch...sigh, maybe I should take a nap :-)

Anyway, this is the second square I finished, called the Kata Square.  This is a downloaded pattern through Ravelry, so you will have to join in order to download it.  It is free to join and there are tons of free patterns.

Annnnd I just realized I took a pic of the square on the incorrect side. so now you know what it looks like on this side, LOL! Live and learn.
