I'm really liking this knitting project. It's my first time to knit color blocks in this way.
The yarn is a 50/50 organic wool/organic cotton blend and is very soft. It's the yarn I received in this gift (remember it?) and I love it. The square needles have been easy and comfortable to use too.
My go-to book when I want to just PLAY, and play with COLOR, is Collaborative Quilting. A little inspirational reading can go a long way when the mood strikes...these house blocks were a lot of fun!
I'm not able to say too much about the next two quilting projects until they reach their new homes. But I wanted to post these sneak peak photos anyway because the colors are so warm and cheerful.
I should be able to show them in their finished state at the end of the month...at which time, I'll probably have two new 'works in progress" to take their place!

Oh, my. Now we know what you have been up to. All your projects look great. I love the house blocks with the kitty's. Such fun. Hope everything goes well.
I never noticed that those were square knitting needls in that original blog post. Neat, never seen that before. Those quilt blocks are adorable. Such cute little houses and I love allof the little animals peeking out. The folding quilt in black and white with just a bit of color looks so retro. Love it, love it. You certainly have been busy...
I love the look of your knitting project. It looks soft!
That yarn looks delicious! I used to be a big knitter pre-baby and pre-beads!

The houses are really cute. I'm really drawn to the animated color! Hey I noticed that Pat Winters is not on your blog roll. Have you been to her site? It's well worth the trip. Also sign up for her puzzel piece swap. There is still room....and no I have not begun mine yet!
