Day Two

It's the morning after. I'm not trying to cut my arm off to not wake up the project beside me!

You know what's really fun about this project? You can knit the squares onto each other. And you can knit them individually and knit them together later.

Now I wish I could find the rest of my size 2 dpns. And that I had organized them like I had always thought about.

I also really like the provisional cast on that is suggested for the squares. I've done some pretty horrible provisional cast ons before that have always let to needing to cut out the waste yarn. The one on knitty that is linked to on the original blanket blog is fantastic. And I was even able to figure it out in a decent amount of time - and remember how to do it the next day (this morning, I tried it again)

Square two is on its way. I might even cast it on in the next few minutes.

Of course, starting this blanket means I can play in the KYS sock blanket yarn swap, but I'm having performance anxiety. I measured out 10 grams of the Cestari I used in square one. It seems like a huge amount. Especially since that first square of mine only used 2 grams.

I need to remember to work on Christmas knitting too! (But wow these squares are nice for the instant gratification knitter in me).
