Prairie Blanket

Some pictures of "the blanket" as it grows across British Columbia, Alberta, and now Saskatchewan:
This morning we will have breakfast at the Craft-Tea Elevator Restaurant - a restaurant made out of a former grain elevator. Can't wait...

Knitting across the prairies

The Log Cabin blanket is coming along nicely... and is the perfect project to work on while driving across the prairies. Block 6 was completed in Alberta and block 7 might be finished when we cross from Saskatchewan to Manitoba. Pictures soon...

It's kind of growing on me...



At last...I'm knitting again! Here is my new project:The Moderne Log Cabin Baby Blanket.

It's a nice, steady project - back and forth in garter stitch rows ~ a free pattern from Mason and Dixon Knitting and is available at Ravelry.


I am using Lion Brand's Cotton Ease:


  • Ivory
  • Terracotta
  • Lake
  • Taupe
  • Size 4 mm needles

The colours look a bit more muted in real life.

This is my "knitting halfway across Canada" project. BC here we come!
