the first thing the man said when he saw his socks was something to the effect of ‘they’re going to make fun of me.’
ha!
and then i asked my mom if he was going to wear them anyway and she said yes :)
and so, the next dad gift, a log cabin afghan. for next christmas. i figured this one might take a while, and my friend camille spurred it on by giving me a copy of mason-dixon knitting. although i must admit, as with all scrappy things, it is quite addictive. i had red and orange in it at one point. heels and toes, yes. blanket? i’ll be trying to stick to greens, blues, and browns.
anyone else knit a log cabin?
I’ve been pondering the log cabin blanket from Mason-Dixon as well. What yarn are you using (I checked the project page in Ravelry, but it doesn’t say …)?
ooh, that looks perfectly manly and am all for sneaking in colors:)
I’m slogging through a log cabin baby blanket. But I have a deadline. If there’s no deadline, it might be more fun!
haven’t seen that pattern but I’ve been musing on doing something very similar — what are you doing, picking up stitches along each edge to knit each block? or is each block knit individually and then sewn (please say no)?
I made the baby blanket version. Love the colors in yours.
love the earth tones, cozy.
