Since I’m using swap yarn to work on the community sock yarn blanket, I’ve decided to try to do at least one square a day. They’re only 31 stitches, so it doesn’t really take too long and I can easily do two squares if I miss a day.

It also gives me some hope of finishing this blanket in this millenium.

I’m loving all the colors. Even the yarns I don’t think will look good wind up looking pretty nice in the blanket. I’m not wild about the back though–the ridge where stitches are picked up and the bits where ends are woven in just looks really unfinished to me. I’m thinking I might sew a backing on when it’s done, but then I’m not sure how I’d handle an edging. Though I suppose if I did a blanket stitch to attach it, I could always pick that up to crochet an edging.

But that’s a long time away! In the meantime, I just need to keep knitting squares.
