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!
