Ready to Assemble


I hope to get the final instalment of the Excel series done soon, but in the meantime, this will just be a short check-in. I've been working on a pattern I found in a recent Mary Maxim catalogue called Calico Afghan. It's been fun doing the squares in my spare time - little snippets of stolen time in fact, waiting for a pot to boil, talking on the phone, etc. I finished the last of the squares yesterday evening while listening to my favourite LOST podcasts - The Transmission and Jay and Jack. Even the though, obviously, the afghan is yet to be assembled, I got such a satisfying sense of accomplishment when I lined all the squares all up for inspection, that I just had to share.
I've also finished a baby afghan for a friend who is due is June. This one is from Vogue Knitting on the Go: Baby Blankets. Very nice pattern, fun to knit.

That's it - back to taxes now.
