Log Cabin blanket KAL (2013!)

Take a look at this little bit of lovely!

Rooting around in my knitting closet for some stash yarn, I found this unfinished 

knit blanket. For several years I knit with a fun group of ladies at a local yarn shop 

called Sweet Pea's (now closed), and each year we would do a block-of-the-month

knitted blanket. This log cabin from 2013(!) is more like a strip-of-the-month, but you get the idea.

Two color ways were offered, if I remember correctly, pastel colors as 

well as the more autumnal jewel tones pictured above.

 Kits were made up using  Berroco Vintage worsted yarn, and each week we would 

be given the yarn and the next set of instructions. As you can see, each strip has

a different stitch pattern.  It was a fun way to try new textures, which I loved.

Knit on larger needles (10 1/2?), it is very drapey and cozy. And washable, which is

key for a blanket, in my opinion.

You might be wondering why this project sat it time out so long? Well, I had approximately

36 inches or so of the I-cord bind off to finish, and I had run out of the navy

blue yarn. Of course, I really didn't want to order another skein to finish that

little bit, though in reality Vintage is one of my go-to yarns, and I would surely

have found a use for it! 

Fast forward 6 years, and I had no trouble getting that puppy finished with another

color.......done is done!
