Blanket Update

so, I have started putting the blanket together, even though I have 2 squares to finish, I am also trying to put the finishing touches on each block before I join them.
Its crazy how much a little black embroidery thread makes this look more like a bear!
I am going to keep the tail loose on this little guy. 'Cause I think its funny.
Whats amazing to me here, is how in reality the green I picked is way too dark, but here it looks almost exactly the right color. I don't know what is the matter with my camera that the colors aren't true, but oh well.
This is the beginning of square number 19, its soooo many strands of yarn all at once, that I cannot work on it at work... which is another reason to finish up the other ones.

Goodnight Moon Blanket, part one

So, this is my very first post on my new "Knitting" blog.

In April, I started this intarsia blanket for my 'nephew' who turned 2 this August, I missed the deadline, but I tried pretty hard. When it became very clear I was going to miss the deadline, I did take a little break to knit a pair of socks, a hat for myself and a hat for an actor in the play I am working on right now. I'll post them later.

But anyway, I really decided to start this when I realized how many people have seen me working on this blanket, who then must go home because the play we were working on was over. Very Sad. So, here are 14 of the 18 blocks I have finished so far, the other 4 are lost in my computer at the moment ( I guess I should remember to Label Photos, so I can find stuff)

nothing has been embroidered as yet. so the bears will get more detail, and I will add a tail to the cow. I like the 2 color thing on the cow and moon... or lets just say, I don't hate it.




the house,

the clock,
I have number buttons.
