Catch up of knitted squares

On Monday I wasn't too well. I was up most of the night being poorly so didn't go to work in the morning.

That was pretty horrible but let's just brush past that part shall we?

Once I was starting to feel slightly better and had made it downstairs to the sofa I actually ended up having quite a nice day.

I sat and watched all of the remaining episodes of the original Cold Feet that I have on DVD and did a bit of a catch up of the knitting project that I started my Mum L and shared with you in my last blog.

I finished off my second round of each colour so I now have 2 squares of each colour.

I think that this means that I am one ahead of Mum L now!! Although she's probably done more since I saw her a couple of weeks ago but at least this makes us just about even.

As I went through and added more colours to our completed pile, I started to think about what patterns they might be able to make so this seemed like the perfect opportunity to dedicate a double page spread in by BuJo to working it all out.

So far I have included the scrap of paper that was used on our girly day together to work out the pattern that we would each follow to get the same size squares at the dimensions that we thought would look nicest within the finished blanket.

Mum L has started knitting all of her colours in a pattern which does make sense to ensure that we get an even number of each so I think we will stick with this.

I have started to come up with a few combinations of what order we could put the squares in at the bottom of this page but until we get a few more to have a look at I find it hard to tell what it will look like. I have saved the whole page on the right so that we can fill all of the little squares with the colours of all of the squares that we have made once we decide that we have enough for a blanket.

This way we will really see what it is going to look like before it is all sewn together.

Hope you're all having a good week. Please check out my previous blog about the start of this project  if you haven't already read it as I think I forgot to share this one on social media. It may make what you have just read a lot more understandable!

I am feeling a lot better now. I hope you are all well.

Catch up with you again soon.
