Progress is Being Made.......

I now have three corners of my Multi-Dimensional Baby Blanket knitted and am working on the last square. This is sort of 'addicting.' The blanket can be made any size you desire. The one I am knitting is a 30x30 inch square. All stitches are garter, so no complicated stitchwork there. And since you are working 4 squares, you simply make the first square one-quarter of your desired width. For example; my first square was knitted until it measured 15 inches across. The length takes care of itself and automatically measures 15 inches as well.

I can see little baby blankets worked using Red Heart "Camo" yarn too. Modular or multi-dimensional knitting can be created with solid colored yarns, but this type of knitting is an eye-catching visual experience and is best appreciated using variegated yarns. I never did like variegated as I thought they were too 'busy' for me. But this technique brings out eye-catching design patterns of the variagates like never before. Now I have more options to play with. Watch out yarn stash! Move over to make room for new skeins!!

So to re-cap; here is my original photo from the last post:

And here is where I am now....


You can see that I have three corners (or squares) knitted; and working on the fourth....
