squares - done!

i finished all those mitre squares..... all 16 of them. knitting along, i remembered why i did not like this yarn. while it is as soft as all get out, it is so very, very splitty. there are several spots that i can already see small snags, but the overall effect is lovely.

then i turned it over.

billions of ends to weave in. and with this splitty yarn i imagine that it will take lots of wine to finish.
so i started on the borders. i'm anxious to get going on the next blanket in those peacock colors, but have decided to show restraint until i get this one completely knit. i've got until july to weave in those pesky ends ;)

with any luck, i'll be done by tomorrow.
i decided to get that vivid blue fiber plied and washed this week. i wanted to have it done and off my wheel before the guild meeting this month. we'll be playing musical wheels and i want to have my bobbins empty. not that it's really necessary ( i've got lots and lots of bobbins) but i like to have all my projects done before i get rolling on another. so, that blue fiber????....... delicious!
