The Weekly Wrap Up - Opinion Edition

THE WEEKLY WRAP UP

No process was made at all this week - not a single knit! I've just been really busy getting everything ready and then Thursday/Friday my aunt Eileen and my cousin Kelly were visiting from the states. They were also joined by my other cousin Julie (who lives down in Newcastle). I met up with them both nights for chatting and dinner. It was great to see some familiar faces! Tomorrow morning my friend Bri arrives from Minnesota and in the afternoon Meg will be flying in from Ohio/Connecticut (the / is because she's from CT but is going to school in OH). I'M SO EXCITED!!

Since I didn't make any progress, I decided to arrange the squares in two different ways and I want YOUR vote to decide how I should eventually lay out the blanket. I know the sizes are different due to the number of squares I had available but you get the idea!

Option 1 - Checkered (end squares will be purple, white, purple, white)

Option 2 - Cornered (all squares will be purple)

Thoughts??

It's getting there! Do you think I should make sure every square is a different color on the corners? See the upper corner is purple and currently ends on white. Should it do that? Have purple in two corners and white in two corners (diagonal of each other) or purple (or white) on every corner? If you look below and focus on the first 3x3 square I kind of like that...maybe next week I'll put up exact example of what I mean and you can pick!

THE WEEKLY WRAP UP

Ah, it seems the only person I can be disappointed in is myself. I usually knit when watching tv in the living room (forgot to bring it in and then forget) or on my computer (my USA shows were on a break this week) or when I'm reading articles (done reading, onto writing). Only two squares were completed and I doubt I'll get much more done this week which is my last full week without guests. Oh well!

Production is back up! I made 3 & 2/3 squares this week! I've been doing a lot of reading/research for my papers at home which allows me to sit at my desk and knit, pausing occasionally to take note of something important. The picture looks a little different this week because I was changing my sheets and put the squares down on an even surface instead of my bumpy comforter. This allowed me to line them up quite close together so I could get an idea of an actual size. Looks like I'm going to have cold toes when my friends come!

To sew or not to sew, that is the question. I have 19 more days until my friends come and will probably crank out about 6-8 more squares in that time (imagine one more row width wise to this). I'll want my blanket to be bigger than that - probably at least two more rows in width and one more in length. Should I start sewing so I can have an extra blanket when my friends come in three weeks (which was my whole goal of this project) or just keep it separate? Decisions, decisions...

Production has slowed a bit this week. Usually I spend my afternoons watching tv (while I'm not in class of course!) and while I do that I knit. This week, however, reading has been a priority (and, unfortunately, it's going to continue being a priority). It's time to start research for my papers and hopefully begin them soon so I can have them done by the time my friends visit. This week, only 2 1/4 squares were made and that was pretty much done this weekend.

The blanket is coming along! This week I did three squares! Okay, so 2 1/2 if you look at last weeks - that white one was about halfway done. I've begun my countdown for when my friends Bri and Meg come to visit - 40 days! Wow! It's so soon :) I can't wait!!

The Weekend...I Mean, Weekly Wrap Up

THE WEEKLY WRAP UP

I've decided to change the title of this to The Weekly Wrap Up (instead of The Weekend Wrap Up) as it shows the progress I made on the blanket all week. I was really worried I wouldn't have anything to show for it since this is my first week showing a before and after. Luckily I completed two whole squares (one white, one purple) and started another white. So here you go...

I sure hope I can keep up the good work!
