Epic Sock Blanket Progress

February 23, 2012 By Carole

I haven’t just been getting letters in the mail lately, I’ve been getting bits of sock yarn, too. Several of you have sent your leftovers to me and it’s been so much fun to open these little packages and see all the pretty sock yarn in them.

It has helped immensely with my progress, too.

I’ve got 2 rows completed and just started the third row.

I’m still loving the process and I think it looks pretty cool, too.

Thanks so much to those of you who have sent yarn, as you can see everyone is getting along just fine!

    This is going to look so fabulous in the end. It’s fun to see all the different yarns and recognize the types. You’re going to have a blast!

    Lovely! and it reminds me I will have to go back to my two very neglected blankets one of these days too.

    Evil, I say, evil. Between you and those ladies over on MDK, this plot to turn me into some sort of blanket knitter! I am saner than that, just keep showing those shots of gorgeous squares. ;^)

    I love how colorful it looks. I’m thinking this will be one of my summer knitting projects. It looks like so much fun!

    LOVE IT! What fun. So you’re taking notes on how you’re assembling these, right? I’m going to want those notes. 🙂

    Awesome blanket. I still need to rip one of my sock yarn blankets. I decided I didn’t like the colors together and it has been languishing for years.

    wow, impressive-I think I have 12 squares-but mine are not joined up yet

    Looks great, Carole! I love my scrappy sock yarn blanket — it’s the perfect size and weight, and is so cozy and warm.

    Nothing but admiration for this project….I think I need to do a 9 inch square blanket sometime in the future…

    February 23, 2012 at 12:46 pm

    What size are your squares? I’ve been working on one of these and the Beekeeper’s Quilt.
    As always – beautiful work 🙂

    I love the sock yarn blankets I have seen! They are so cheery with all their different yarns. My friend Christine is making one too, but she has turned her squares so that they are on point. Kind of cool because of the decorative edge, but I have to admit that I personally prefer a straight edge on an afghan/blanket

    A couple of years ago, I started a blanket just like that from sock yarn after reading Domino Knitting by Vivian Hoxbo. Each square was started on 43 stitches. Well, it didn’t take long to run out of sock yarn! I didn’t think to ask my friends for left over sock yarn, but I will now! I always enjoy the pictures on your blog.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
