My Very First Knit-Along ... Part 3

Finally done with working on Week 4's square! :)  It's called Checkerboard Cable Square:
Amazing ... I never thought I'd be doing a Checkerboard pattern; it looked so hard.  My hubby received a beautiful lap blanket when he was really ill from my knitting friend, Dawn and she did an amazing checkerboard pattern I could only dream of doing!  And now, not only did I manage to do a checkerboard pattern but incorporate a cable (both left and right) into it!  

This knit-along has been amazing so far as well as become wonderful opportunity for me to grow (and yet do it in small squares)! :)   I've learned so much about reading patterns (both in written and chart format) and about actually seeing how my work will actually come together. :)

I'm going to move to a bigger needle (the 8" squares are really quite small) so, I'll be doing Week 1's square again to get gauge then move onto Week 5 (although we're really in Week 7 now).  I hope to catch up soon! :P

More squares! :D
